ok, so I tried to feed the wire through the EGR passage, and that's a lost cause. The passage is so intricate, I can't even imagine how someone would do that. So I think that eliminates that option, unless someone can give me a better idea of how/where to try and feed the wire. The other thing is, when I took the throttle plate off, the gasket behind it was shot to all hell (torn, burt, ect.) I did some searching of my own, but the only gasket I can find for purchase is the EGR valve gasket. Any advice as to where I can get an intake gasket set? One other question, I know it's not doing the engine any favors, but will I be hurting the engine in any way by driving it while it has this problem?
