man, i had to replace the head gasket on my 95 de ... so while it was off i also removed the egr cause i couldnt get it undone from the exhaust mani and had to cut it, plugged all the hoses and holes ... also ported the head.... after a while of getting the timing worked out its back running, and runs good when youre driving ... damn thing wont idle worth a F*CK ... would this be due to more air flow and the computer hasnt relearned whats going on or does it have something to do with the egr removal???? any help would be awesome cause im stuck ...

it probably still has to do with timing.. double check everything

i used a timing light when i was checking everything after we got it running and it was good ... 20 deg btdc ... is it possible for that to have changed between now and then?? dizzy is really hard to turn.

maybe too simple, but spray some STP intake, throttle cleaner, into you're iacv hosethere is a thread on how to do it. simple, works for me. I finally took oout my cel cause of the damn egr.
Hope this helpshere you go/idle fix
If not that, I just push back in the maf sensor plug and it will fix the idle. Just worn I guess.
