Hello; I checked the EGR valve by pushing up on diaphram from underneath whle at idle, and motor choked and when I let go it went back to a smooth idle, so I think it's ok. Going to check that fuel pressure while driving car under boost next. Thanks!- TUZ58

Hello; Come to think of it, right before I had this problem I almost ran out of gas. Anyone know where I can get the fuel injector cleaning kit that has the aerosol can and hose that screws into the port on fuel rail? Thanks!- TUZ58
