Everyone contributed. All the information was very good to excellent! And differing opinions are healthy to the process because it caused me to think about it all and understand. I learned so much in a short period of time. Without all of the feedback, there'd have been no learning.
However, being a neophyte (me) with electronic issues required step-by-step instruction, and someone with the patience to provide direction and walk me through the process. All helped and I don't want to disregard anyone that contributed. I needed to hear ALL of it. But Vincent approached this with the understanding that I knew NOTHING about what I was doing and walked me through all of the issues. I commend him for his steadfastness and patience.
This is a GREAT place to learn and I appreciate everyone's efforts, even the Canadian. lol

But, I'd like to point out something else that has helped - that most of the rest of us kept from sidetracking either Steve or Vincent. (Or, maybe I should say most of you did, as I did sidetrack things once or twice.) Too many times I/we jump in to "help", but adding to the number of cooks in the kitchen rarely helps. Instead, and I'm preaching to me, we need to let someone take the lead and only chime in when we feel there's an error.

So does that mean he's cleared his code 34? I think he said he cleared 13 also by following your procedure to reset the idle. That leaves 41 (i think). This is an O2 sensor; system reporting lean?
He will not be able to clear Code 34 until he gets proper vacuum to the EGR. Seems he found a leak at the Vacuum Manifold that supplies the Vacuum to the EGR Control Solenoid & and the TADiverter/TABy-pass Solenoids. He did find that his Vacuum Reservoir in the soure vacuum path was blocked, he cleared the blockage. For now he has plugged the source vacuum line (red tubing) leading back to the intake vacuum cluster.
His Code 41, may be his O2 Sensor and the Ground, but maybe other issues. He has an O2 sensor on order, and understands the O2 grounding issues.
Yes, he cleared Code 13 using the idle instructions provide.

Reason: Adding text
Still waiting for the O2 sensor - arriving today I think. I am anxious to see this work!
While I'm here, anyone have an idea where I can get a comparable vacuum reservoir as I'm dead certain I popped the diaphragm in mine.

First place to come to mind is a junkyard, look on 1970s & 80s cars & trucks (if you can find such things anymore). I guess it's possible places like Rock Auto might have something like that, go look in their catalog.
Yeah. I checked RockAuto and zippo. I'm thinking that's gonna be hard to get. Time to search car parts.com.

I did not know a vacuum reservoir ever had a diaphragm.
I always though that they were just a sealed container with nipples on it for vacuum connections.
I know the ones that rust out looses vacuum and you have to check under them for leaks.
I think they do. I went to blow mine out with a compressor and I forgot to set the pressure down to 10. Within about 2 seconds there was an enormous POP! Pretty sure I blew a diaphragm. Not 100% certain, but...

I also thought they were just empty containers, I have two of the tin-can-types in my garage from the JY and I can suck on/blow into both of them.
Look at the vacuum hose routing diagram on top of the radiator support under the hood, it might (should?) depict a check valve in that device if one was present from the factory (I know there is at least one inline valve separate from the canister).
But it occurs to me, the round, plastic ***** were used for HVAC purposes in my experience, and that stuff isn't on the diagram I just asked you to look at - the diagram contains engine control stuff only, not comfort & convenience stuff.
There are 4 solenoids attached to a box on the passenger side. The solenoids control egr, thermactor and I'm not sure what else. Underneath those solenoids are tubes that the vacuum manifold attach to. Those hoses run to the thermactor, EGR, diverter, and elsewhere. The box has a diaphragm inside of it, and two hoses attach to it near the top inside the box. It is use for vacuum storage.
