Sorry, trying not to be "that guy" making a thread every day.
I think Iv finally got this car running good. This morning I finished my investigation on the vacuum lines specifically the original emissions junk. Deleted everything and figured out the EGR vacuum line had no vacuum. Long story short it has vacuum now.
I tested the EGR with a mighty vac while at idle. Iv read at some point the car should sputter and most likely die. It didn't change a thing. I pulled the EGR off and it was pretty nasty and coated in carbon. It still had flow and still technically worked. I cleaned it up and look at the EGR block on the intake and it's CLEAN! So this tells me this EGR was from the previous motor and hasn't properly worked since. Put the EGR back on and tested with mighty vac at idle again. No change.
Again the car runs great now. The true question is why didn't the car stumble and die when I applied vacuum? I'm just trying to get better gas mileage so I want this EGR doing it's job.
