Egg off throttle body
What's the best and permanent way to plug this?

Not egg. I meant egr. Auto correct on my phone gets me in trouble sometimes.

Re: Egg off throttle body
Rubber caps from auto parts store will dry rot in a few years, simple and cheap. Not sure of any permanent solutions..

Re: Egr off throttle body
That's what I've got on there now. I don't think it will last long.

Re: Egg off throttle body
you can tap it for NPT and screw in a small brass plug
it's the EVAP port by the way, pulls fuel vapor from tank.

Re: Egg off throttle body
It shouldn't actually be plugged, should it? If so the engine won't be able to pull fresh air through the crankcase via the PCV system.
I -thought- it was a metered orifice that flowed at a known rate and as long as you provided it with a supply of fresh filtered air, the ECM took account for it in the tune. No?

Re: Egg off throttle body
Thanks for the replies on the EVAP. I ended up using a small piece of hydraulic line with a fitting pressed on it and a threaded cap. I think it will last.
