Not saying this is a cause, just relevant things that pop in to my mind.
I never thought about that, great point! I blocked off my Civic's EGR because I didn't want my intake manifold getting full of soot and heat soaking from the hot exhaust. I can't really say that I noticed a difference in the way it runs or a difference in gas mileage, but YMMV (no pun intended)
