I pulled a couple of KOEO codes yesterday and got 33 and 82. 33 sys that EGR does not open. I think it has been disconnected but I want to be sure before I bypass the coolant lines. What should I look for to be sure that the EGR is dissconected. Also would it be better to just join the two peices together with a double ended nipple or just by a new longer hose? Also if you know what the 82 code is can you please tell me since I cant find the correct definition of it.
