My egr is romoved and the lines crimped and blocked. The vacum lines seam to be working fine but I havent inspected them yet But that is the next thing.

Finally found it out, the carb went on mine. The primary pump is just spitting fuel everywhere and i can't control it. And at times it just won't spit anything. That whole motor is coming out within the week. Tired of wasting money on it.

I dont know what happened but it started idleing with out a problem. The only thing i did was run some Gunk moter flush and changed the oil, couple days later it started idleing. It still runs rich but at least it idles.
