sounds like it could be the EGR valve, any check engine lights?

i found my problem it was a combination of bad and loose plugs i went to pull the #5 plug and i could turn it with my fingers that was the only one but the rest were just tight enough you couldnt get them out but one turn of the ratchet then you could. so i replaced all of the plugs and went to make sure the timing was set right just to find out the distributor cap was loose so tightened that down started it up waited for it to warm up and nothing it ran just fine no problems
