I checked the compression (dry) and the cylinders were all within 5 psi of each other, but I don't recall what the actual reading was. I can run them again if you could tell me what an acceptable reading should be, either wet, dry or both. thanks. As far as the EGR, how can I know if it's opening too early? Thanks for the responses!!!

Rasmataz, I isolated EGR, plugged hoses, drove the car ..... still idled rough as soon as engaged into gear, and still hesitated upon light acceleration. Could there be a vacuum leak or restriction that i have not located ? What would you suggest as the best way to check ? Thanks, Frustrated

There is also an additional issue, though I don't know whether it's relared or not. Any time you attempt to start the car, it takes about 8 to 10 seconds of cranking to start,then once started the previously mentioned issue exists. Why the long cranking time? Thanks
