well i got my pacesetter headers and y pipe on today. they sounded great for the 1 second the car was on. i hear a loud hissing sound then the car dies, i cranked it 2 times and it happened both times. im going to assume it was the rigged up egr block off plate i made, so im going to order a block off plate but what can i use until it comes in, i heard of using a freeze plug. is this possible? what size? please give your input if you think there is another problem

I dont think it's the EGR plate. It would not prevent your car from starting and it would be a loud ticking sound instead of a hissing sound.

you have any ideas what it could be then? everyhting else is hooked up right minus the air and egr stuff.

If you deleted your EGR you need to plug up the intake manifold. That would be a big problem right there. I believe the size is 1 3/8 adjustable plug. You have to screw that bitch down hard also to get it to expand a make a good seal. What did you use to rig up the one you have now? Do you have fittings on your headers for EGR and AIR? And did you plug up your intake? Let us know exactly what's plugged up and what's not.

i have the race headers. the only thing i need to plug is egr. i just used an aluminum plate. i got a part number and have toalked to a few guys down here in my area. im pretty confident the prob is my egr plate is no good. im going to autozone in the morning to pick up a plug and im almost certain this will fix the problem, i will post and let you guys know what the prob was. thanks for the coments

Like Sweetbone said 1 3/8- 1 1/2 is the one i put in mine. When I did my headers, I had to get my egr tuned out because if I unplugged it without the tune it would crank and die immediately.

I got a freeze plug from home depot, its rubber with a wind nut up top, it sealed very easily and never came unsealed.

are all your header bolts tighten good? always re check after the first time the car is started up and heated up that they are re tq. down.
