I did this mod when I changed out my plugs 2 weeks ago, an now the car seems to hop/lop when driving at about 40, its kinda skips, but when I step on the gas it runs ok after a second, would cutting the end off that sticks into the intake make my car run like crap? Any one have an issue with their car after doing this mod?

 

Did it, and noticed no difference good or bad.
It's a really easy mod and from looking at how it sits directly in the stream of air, removing it should help, but probably no more than 1 or 2 hp I guess...

 

Sounds like you have a vacuum leak around where the egr goes into the intake. That'll cause the symptoms that you're describing.

 

Yep, check to make sure the EGR pipe is seated properly in the intake. My buddy didn't have his sealed right and threw an SES light.

 

Im going with everyone else sounds like a vacum leak check the egr where it connects into the intake make sure the oring didnt get pinched

 

Yep, thats what it was, it O-ring, didnt notice it the first time. but when I took it apart, there it was pushed all the way up. Adjusted it and problelm solved. thanks everyone who had input into my problem.
