This will, most certainly cut any smoke caused by the EGR valve
And nothing else
It won't upset the EPIC system this way
Because doing it this way allows the system to think it's working the EGR circuit as the manufacturer intended
IF the EGR circuit was causing any smoke, it would have stopped when you put the blanking plate at the exhaust end
Obviously the smoke you talk about hasn't stopped
so this means the fault is elsewhere
This will have NOTHING to do with your idling speed
This is a separate matter
What were the exact fault code numbers extracted from the ECU
