Do you have a gasoline engine?
If yes, then don't block it.
The only vehicles that appear to benefit are diesels.
The engine temperature sensor reads air temperature between the throttle and air filter. Not inside the intake manifold.
EGR reduction is normally only used on vehicles that left the factory with too much EGR, a desperate OEM attempt at bringing NOx levels down to acceptable levels. Too much EGR will cause vehicles to sputter at part throttle or have a bad spot.
As far as I know no large number of vehicles made after the late 80s or early 90s has had this problem, unless the EGR broke.
