the other day i noticed a hole on the front on my motor that when i rev the car it blows air out. when i put my hand over it i got a bit of black (carbon) left. i think it should be the egr or something but dont know. ther is two small holes to bolt something on. anny one know what it may be or what i should do?

i can tell its leaving black crap all over everything around it.
That is where the egr valve mounts.
so shouldnt i atleast have the valve even if i dont hook it back into my intake, or is this ok?
99 doesn't have egr so..... ever have the motor replaced?

I'm surprised you show up to our meets after half of the things you say on here.
hmm i dont think its ever bean replaced. i didnt do it atleast. what can i do about this, should i try and put on a egr or leave it. how could i stop it from spitting out that black crap, could i put a breather filter on it or cap it off?
Block it off
