OK so I recently have been.cleaning up the engine bay and I want to delete the vac lines on top of my TB do I just unplug them and cap them.off and that's the end of.it? What about the limes going to the egrand everything else
 
  1. Remove the battery and the tray it sits on.
  2. Remove the EGR and replace it with a blockoff plate.
  3. Unplug the vacuum lines on the top of the throttle body and cap the three ports.
  4. Follow the vacuum lines to the firewall where you will see a bracket with two electrical connectors
  5. Unplug the electrical connectors and then remove the bracket.
  6. Follow the other vacuum lines to the back of the intake manifold and you will see a bracket that they lead in and back out of.
  7. Unbolt the bracket.
  8. Follow the vacuum lines further down, where they lead to the charcoal canister under the battery location.
  9. Remove the charcoal canister and its bracket.
  10. You will see that one line leads under the firewall back to the fuel tank. Remove it, place a check valve on the end, and secure the line from being free.
  11. Follow another line to your intake tube, remove it, and then cap it at the intake tube.
  12. Reinstall the battery and you are done.

Note: Without ECMLink you will have a CEL light. If you have ECMLink go into your DTC section and uncheck the EGR/EVAP box. Also, when removing sensors or any other type of electrical connectors I recommend labeling them for future reference. For example, every wire I plan on deleting when I do a wiretuck is wrapped with red electrical tape and labeled, the others I need to keep are wrapped with white electrical tape and labeled.

I hope this helps and if you have any other question please feel free to PM me. Good luck!

You'll need an egr block off plate. It can be had from extreme psi for like $20 shipped. But yea, pretty much

Or go to the junk yard and find a 1.8l 1g or an older Hyundai, some of them come with egr block off plates from the factory. And grab the shorter bolts too.:thumb:
