Power is basically throughout, but really noticeable at 1800 RPM. I went to Advance Auto( I know the manager) & he checked the charging system. I double checked the battery and alt. when I got home and they are good. I found that the hard vac line that plugs into the EGR was split almost in two( I must have done it while running the power wire through the engine bay). Repaired that and took it for a drive, seems to much better than it was, especially in first and second. We'll see how it does tomorrow when the engine is good and cold.
