Code 332 help

1994 f150 xlt super cab with the twin gas tanks, long bed and 5.0 v8. It's throwing a 332 code which is an egr valve/sensor but it's also misfiring and chugging with a clogged injector plus the button for overdrive has no pressure behind it so a possible bad diaphragm? I'm just trying to make sense of what's going on and what's broken, I really don't know and need some insight from someone who knows Ford trucks haha. Thanks

Egr sensor may be reading a open or closed egr.( when its open I think it leans out the fuel because of the reburning of exhaust gases) can you describe anymore details? It seems there might be more symptoms if its a stuck egr, might be the sensor. Does it stall or run rough? Idk about the injector. Try injector cleaner if you drive it. If its just sitting you might verify if it is a clogged injector first and not a symptom of egr.

Code 332 (CM & KOER): EGR valve opening not detected.

The O/D button does not have a diaphragm behind it, it's a spring. You can get a replacement at most auto part stores.

As far as the misfiring/chugging goes, how old are the plugs, wires, cap, rotor and filters?

Check all vacuum lines, a 332 EGR code usually a vacuum related issue. The hard vacuum lines will crack over time and cause engine running problems.

Great advice...also check the "coffee can" vacuum reservoir on the passenger side fender well.

Update

So it's sat for a long period of time (if only she told me this before) and had bad gas, which would explain the clogged injectors and misfiring, but what about the egr code?

If it sat long enough to have bad gas, I would also check for chewed wires. Rodent population may not be bad in you area, but its bad in my area.
