if I could lol...Well replacing the EGR valve finished today. Had to remove the intake to drill out one of the bolts for the EGR valve, as it broke off halfway out, not surprising, as it was the original valve.
Then I put in all new spark plug wires and spark plugs, and cleaned the throttle body, took it for a test drive, seemed sluggish, but it has to re-learn as I reset the PCM entirely.
However, it is so quiet, you can barely hear the engine running at all.

maybe but fresh paint would make things look a lot nicer. plus i really need to take the passenger side valve cover off and see why the oil filler cap is not so snug. thought about swapping the one valve cover with one off my 91 since i know the cap on it is snug. the reason the one valve cover is so dirty is because of the leaking filler cap and the cap is fine. it is the hole that is the issue.

^That. I wouldn't quite say last leg, but definitely a short lifespan ahead of it.
