This was a egr. New egr and it runs great.

Thanks for everyone's help on this.

You changed the EGR valve, along with the EVP sensor on top, that has the electrical connection?
Just wondering if you have an intermittent problem that's not fully diagnosed yet.

Yes, the egr came with the sensor that's on top of the egr. I was having this problem with the miss every time i drove it. now the dyeing was when ever it felt like it so that may not be cured, although i drive the snot out of it and it has not done it again yet. so time will tell but the miss at light throttle seems to be solved.

In your first post you said you already changed the EGR. What is different about this part? Did you change the valve and sensor previously or only one of the two parts?

Yep, i already did change it all before. That's why i did not think about this being the issue. Basically i just started pulling vacuum lines and plugging them one at a time. then driving it for each line i pulled off to see if anything changed trying to isolate an issue. I was grasping at straws trying to figure this out. Honestly i did not expect to find an issue i was just trying anything. I have no idea what was wrong with the first new set of parts. But changing them again seems to have solved the issue. Guess i got some bad new parts.

Oh also i changed the both the valve and sensor previously, so i assumed this could not be the problem. I'm learning new does not always mean its good. changing them both again seems to have cleared it up. Time will tell. Not sure if the valve or the sensor was the culprit. I guess i could have changed them one at a time to be sure which it was but i just changed them both. I didn't think about doing that at the time.

When you said "If I unplug the EGR it runs great", I assumed you were unplugging the electrical connector at the EVP sensor, on top.
If you pulled the vacuum line off the EGR and plugged it, and the problem went away, I would think that points to a problem with the EVR solenoid, that sends vacuum to the EGR valve. Vacuum should only be present at the EGR valve under specific engine circumstances, when the engine is warm, at mid throttle and not at full throttle.
But if the problem is resolved, it's resolved.
