Odd...

well the fuel pressure never goes below 38psi and a lttle over 40 psi at wot, even when it's stumbling bad. So I don't think it's starving for fuel, even though it sounds like it, but it still smells rich when it happens, but A/F doesn't go higher than normal WOT reading, and no black smoke out the exhaust, or very, very little.

I will check the dist. for play later today, I know there is some carbon buildup, but not that bad really, and the first thing I thought of was the timing chain. It was changed (I believe) at 87,000 miles, but it's probably due again. GRRRRRR!! Is there any way to check that without disassembly? But it idles fine, and revs fine unless you give it more than 25% throttle!! weird, I could drive it all day and it would be fine, if I babied it.

I will still get an EGR because it definitely needs it, might as well replace the bad stuff while I'm at it!
