When I removed my Edge Attitude w/Juice to send away for repairs, and removed the EGT probe, I used a -4 JIC cap to plug the port. The EGT probe sleeve was still in the manifold, and threads sticking out. Not sure if you still have the sleeve in or not, but that's what worked for me.

JIC is a type of connector for hydraulic hoses. It is a cone type seal that relies on an interference fit to seal. It sealed my port up very nicely.
