Failed smog for tampered egr. There is no egr. What do I do?

There's a plate where the valve should be. Factory installed plate.

Yep,that should be there also(the plate)..EGR Valve Block Off Plate..don't know about CA, but in NC if you already paid,the DMV gives you 30 days to get it fixed if it fails,and you don't have to pay again when you go back..

Thank you!! I agree they should know this info and it's upsetting that my time is wasted having to go back to DMV. I just hope I don't get charged for a resmog.

BAR discussed this matter with General Motors Engineering, and the California Air Resources Board. good luck with it...
