Broken Exhaust Pressure Transducer(?) on 280CE
hey all, i broke a vacuum line connection on what i believe is my exhaust pressure transducer on my '78 280CE Cali version. this is the line that connects the EGR valve via a larger orange vac line and pumps into the transducer. my questions are:
is this in fact the exhaust pressure transducer? if not, what is it?
will this hurt the car to drive it in any way? i was replacing vacuum connections in the engine bay when this happened. the car starts, drives, and idles fine (maybe even better but that's probably because of the new vac pieces).
is this emissions issues only? i don't have to pass any emissions tests here in NY and this stuff typically harms the engine, correct? i removed the egr on my 300D, is this a similar situation?
where can i find one of these to replace it? is there another name for it because i can't find an 'exhaust pressure transducer' on any parts website.
also just wanted to say how helpful nutz4benz' website is. thanks for all the useful info, i've referred to it over and over again! if you aren't aware of it, which i'm sure everyone is, just google 'w123 gassers only'.
thanks for the help!
