RE: $500 problem???
You're timing could very well be off, I have 139,000 miles and mine was set at 20 degrees [&:] when I purchased it. Over time, the timing chain tends to come loose and it will mess up you're timing. Check you're timing light first and tell us what it is and then clean out the EGR.

I honestly don't know how some people can own a car.. You don't know how to check your timing!? Come on! That is pretty basic dude... Almost as bad as the post on whether or not to take out both drain plugs out of our DUAL SUMP oil pans.. I mean, didn't you people ever pay attention to anything as you were growing up? I dunno, maybe it's just me noticing the lack of mechanical intelligence, but those things arent considered mechanical to me... [sm=wtf.gif]

On the timing gun there will be a negative and positive connection that hook on to you're battery, hook those up. There's also a clamp that goes on you're #1 cylinder plug wire hook that up. Remove you're spout chip and start your car, let it warm up and get to 700-800rpms (warmed up) and point the light towards you're harmonic balancer and read the numbers. Hope this helps!

To some people a car is just as intimidating as the stock market or a computer. Get off your high horse.
