I removed the EGR and installed a plate, and the engine pinged if I went up the slightest hill. I put the EGR valve back and the knocking went away.
I think the electronic ignition is programmed assuming EGR kicks in when it is supposed to; if you take off the EGR valve you will probably have to change to an older distributor that don't think it is equipped with EGR.
