update..thanks to trucken bob i didnt slice the bolt off. was able to get the tube nut off with some PB blaster, hammer and a spanner. after i got the manifold off the truck i was able to regrind the bolt head to fit a smaller socket since it was just rounded slightly at the corners. i used some pb blaster and my impact and those guy's flew off.

We DO all have it.
That's the problem. I have this bucking/missing issue (mainly in wet) and so do many others. BUT no one has the SOLUTION.
Don't get me wrong...there is a ton of great info. to assist with trying to find it. But when you live in the snow region it takes time to find a good day.
Man I wish I knew what goes on. This is my only thorn since buying the truck in Nov.

That tube nut got heat when I drove it to work this A.M. Right after I got there I put a wrench on it and it broke free. Took the EGR off tonite after work and things seem fine. How much vaccum should I have on that thing when you rev it up? Or dosen't it work like that? I don't have this problem with my old 66 that comes out in the good weather! A man can look at that 352 and understand with a glance where everything goes. This 95 inline is a plumber and electrician's paradise!

I thought the check engine lite was sort of a little courtesy light or nite lite that Ford provided for the customer. Mine has been on for over a year and a half now. Despite the minor stumbling at idle it appears to be running well. I wish I knew enough to make it go out but I will not pay someone else to do it! My friend told me that I should get it checked out but the truck is running alright for the most part. It's not over heating, oil pressure is fine,no strange noises or smells, so what's the problem. I realize that life isn't that simple under the hood of a 95 but there are too many other things to take of at this point!
I did flash out the codes about a year ago but they were not very clear, at least to a classic truck guy like myself. My last daily driver was a 78'
