Not to beat a dead horse, but I don't think the steel plate/Al. manifold is the problem. It appears to me the problem is caused by the plenum pan bolts being a tad bit too long. That, and maybe the bolt spacing.

your 1997 should NOT have an EGR valve,
which on 1992-1995 5.2/5.9 V8s
was located at the very back of the intake manifold.

How about on a 96? I've replace the tps on mine and it's still stalling. I've cleaned the port for it also. Those wonderful people at our local auto zone told me I do have an egr valve but I can't find it.
