look into the egr code. figure out exactly what the code says. when my egr went bad, it caused poor idle, ran rich, and occasionally the car would die as i'd come to a stop and rpms fell. never noticed any missing though.
 
the egr code keeps saying that its not openning like it should,and i dont know how to check and see if the vacuum thats goin to it is workin, the valve its self moves because i put vacuum on it at idle and the car died.so i am wondering if my problem is vacuum related.
 
its code #33 and i took a vacuum line off the air pump bullsh** and hooked it up to the egr and the diagraphram moved and stayed open,but the car died,i was told that the egr didnt open until the engine was under a load.
 
To save yourself some headaches, just search the code numbers you got. JRichker's synopsis for each code is outstanding, and he has one for each code you got.

Good luck.
