    I have faith....that often it's the last thing we messed with that causes the issue that pops up suddenly afterward.

    I was naive at one point in my life. Then I became experienced, you'll find much of my diagnosis starts with .."What have you recently done?" lol

    Which EGR code?
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.

    It was doing this before i replaced the TPS.. then i replaced it and still doing same thing. I forget the exact code.. I took it off and cleaned it very thouroghly with about a can of cleaner... put it back on after it dried and still doesnt work right... Im really suspecting its a vacuum leak.. giving up and taking it to my mechanic tomorrow morning to take a look. Will update.

    If you suspect and EGR vaccum type leak. Pull the tube from teh EGR to the LIM. Pull the piece that holds it to the lim back and look at the integrity of the tube in the light.

    There is no vacuum with your 6 cylinders pushing exhaust through that pipe.

    When the egr is closed though and the tube is cracked..it's the one between the valve and LIM that would potentially be a very common leak on these motors
