run a search for "codes" w/ by the user name Jrichker...he has directions on how to pull codes w/ just a paperclip.
I'm sure the code is because your EGR is not hooked up...it is a part of the emissions; by the way, the EGR isn't functional at WOT, so it really won't hurt your performance - really no reason to remove it. I would suggest putting the EGR back on.
Also, there's a line that runs from the fuel tank all the way up to the front of the car to a charcoal box (located a few inches up and under where the smog pump would be on a stock car) that helps get rid of the fumes. I would make sure that line is connected and isn't clogged.

I am with James. The fact that the gas tank had vapor vac stored suggests the line to the charcoal cannister is clogged or that there is another EVAP issue. A cracked EVAP line or cannister can stink (of fuel) pretty bad.
Good luck.

well heres the thing...the car hasnt had a charcoal canister on it for years....i do belive i pulled the line of from it to the tank and left just the part in the tank for the breather line...and the plug i bought for the egr is to trick the computer that it is opening and closing like it should.
