Hi decmike, Welcome to 2carpros and TY for the donation

Lets try this inspect and test the coolant temperature sensor, clean out the idle air control valve and EGR valve to include the PCV valve and the throttle position sensor and get back with some testing results for evaluation

Check and test the following:

1. Defective spark plug.
2. Inadequate spark/coil, defective spark plug wire.
3. Lack of compression
4. False air leakage.
5. Faulty fuel injectors.
6. Insufficient fuel pressure.
7. Contaminated fuel.
8. EGR valve that is leaking.
9. Oxygen sensors.
