My 96 had the port for EGR but was blocked off from the factory.

well not to be rude but it seems pretty prominent and you should be able to feel it on the back of yours. i cant get a pic because its in the back of the manifold. again its about 1 inch in diameter and is pretty clearly on the back of the manifold. I tryed plugging it and starting it and it made no difference. i am skeptical that it does anything. i am really worried about that distributor at least the cap because we took someones advice and put zip ties on. but the cap still feels loose and the pick up coil is not held down underneath it because when we were drilling out the broken screws the holes to hold it down were broke on it. so maybe its the hole but in all reality i feel it has something to do with the distributor. maybe i wont pull the distributor but i would like to puill the cap and pick up coil and try and put a new one in and see if that works.
OK, so the disty has zip ties holding it on? It has to be tight as well as cam sensor. THis coule be part of the problem.

alright cap came off, rotor off, put in a new rotor and pick up coil. Put everything back together and truck did the same thing, now with the P1391 loss of camshaft crank code. Very confused idk where to go from here.

is the hole on the back of the manifold threaded? Is it clean (as if something has been plugged into it before?) I have a fully dressed engine in my basement on an engine stand that I can look at, but I have house guests staying down there from last night. I'll have to wait until they wake up before I go down and have a look.

Kind of a sucking/screeching noise? Sounds like the IAC is opening. PCM is opening it all the way in a attempt to keep the engine running.
