How many of you guys with this problem have removed the charcoal canister (and left the vent line open to the atmosphere)?

What about the vacuum line to the EGR - have you guys removed that, too?

I'm trying to rack my brain as to why the car runs really rich out of the blue and then clears up, and it all leads to the day that I yanked that stuff out.

So, I'm just curious if these things may be the main players with this problem...? What say you guys?
