Odd cold starts

[Nixon1]

I'll pick up the vacuum pump as soon as my broke @ss can afford to buy one. I just bought a fuel pressure gauge.....decided to forego the compression gauge because I already know which cylinder is down and I know exactly why (exhaust valve sticking open on cyl 8...exhaust on driver's side, from muffler, reaks to holy hell of unspent gas)...

I'll make sure to make another post with results if I get the vacuum pump. Thanks man...that's a useful tip there!

For future reference, are there any steps to disabling the EGR on these cars besides buying the EGR blocker plate, removing the valve assembly, and plugging the vacuum lines? On GM cars, the computer throws check engine lights constantly for the EGR if you do that and in some cases, the computer throws a complete fit and the car acts up real bad. I definitely don't want that!
