ODB1 and emissions

Re: ODB1 and emissions
I believe that DTC 32 - EGR Circulation is applicable to the 93 model year. Chiltons shows it for 93, and Rob/Shoebox's LT1 code list does not show it as "N/A" in the 93 column on the right. That DTC cycles the EGR system and looks for an expected change in manifold absolute pressure (MAP). Code sets if the change is not detected. Problem is the OBD-I diagnostic does not appear to very very sensitive, and many people have completely deleted the EGR system without tripping the code. Maybe only 5% of the time it will set the code.

If i tune it out can the car still pass emissions testing?
Also, our emissions testing here includes a physical look to see that things are still there in place so removing and blocking them off would not be a good idea.

Re: ODB1 and emissions
I failed emissions testing - and got it down to the CO being a little over on a re-test. So i still have something not quite right.
I was wondering if the EGR could be the or part of the problem.
I'm thinking it could be the Magnaflow cat not working 100%

Bad EGR usually shows as high NOx. High CO is rich. As you have no codes for any bad sensors, my first guess is excess fuel from the injectors, and I would check first for leaking injector(s).

Re: ODB1 and emissions
This is a good summary:
Rich mixture
My personal experience was I was just barely passing on CO; I replaced injectors (on suggestion of smog guy) and reduced it to 1/3 prior levels. My understanding is high HC is more often bad ignition as it represents unburned fuel; high CO is more often bad injectors as it represents partial combustion of the fuel.
