The computer is throwing EGR valve issues. EGR valve has been replaced. Car will stall out when slowing down to stop and will not start for about an hour to two after stalling. Then starts right up and runs fine. Notice my RPM's dropping sometimes while driving too.

Lets do below for a start to determine if its fuel or spark related issue and get back asap.

Get a helper disconnect a sparkplug wire or 2 and ground it to the engine atleast 3/16 away from ground-have helper crank engine over-do you have a snapping blue spark? If so-you have a fuel related problem, check the fuel pressure to rule out the fuel filter/fuel pump/pressure regulator and listen to the injector/s are they pulsing or hook up a noid light. No snapping blue spark continue to troubleshoot the ignition system-power input to the coil/coil packs,coil's resistances,distributor pick-up coil, ignition control module, cam and crank sensors and computer Note: If it doesn't apply disregard it

Okay, next time it stalls going to try the spark plugs. I've already replaced fuel pump and filter. Also replaced distibutor cap. Could it be the distributor or the distibutor plug? How can I test for that? I'm just wondering because after awhile of sitting it does start back up. Hasn't stalled yet, but I'm waiting. Also, noticed my RPM's bouncing around while coasting to a stop today. Hmmm.
