Hey all. New here. I picked up an 84 B2 xlt 4x4 auto on friday for 400 bucks. It needs a little work, but she runs and drives. I have to get it inspection ready as soon as possible so I don't have to wake my wife and kids up anymore to take me to work. So I was poking around under the hood yesterday and saw that the rubber tube for the egr system that goes to the manifold is disconnected and plugged leaving the nipple from the manifold open and shooting exhaust gas into the engine bay which in turn is leaking into the cab. What could be the reason(s) for that tube to be disconnected and plugged? I live in Virginia, we don't get a tail pipe emissions test, but do get a visual inspect of the components so I'm pretty sure I'm going to have to have it hooked up to pass inspection.
