The EGR will not cause the problem given the code you posted. For a test, disconnect the vacuum line from the EGR valve and plug it. The car will run with it plugged, and you may not even notice the difference.

I hope that you tested the TFI before you replaced it. The $25-$30 it cost goes a good ways towards paying for a remanufactured distributor. Replacing the pip sensor is not an easy job without a press to remove the distributor gear.

In general , always test parts before you replace them. Throwing parts at a problem just makes you poor and want to get rid of the car.

Here's a book that will get you started with how the Ford electronic engine control or "computer" works.

Ford Fuel Injection & Electronic Engine Control 1988-1993 by Charles Probst :ISBN 0-8376-0301-3.

It's about $20 from Borders.com see http://www.amazon.com/ . Select boo...very good, and I found it to be very helpful.
