If the EGR is stuck open, it will cause a bad idle.

IMO, pulling the vacuum hose off is as easy as any way to disable it. Just make sure you plug the manifold side off while the hose is removed.

I tried disconnecting the vacume to it, i also took it off and cleaned it, looks like it closing all the way and im still having the problem. I have found that i am having the problem in closed loop and not both like i thought before.

Im lost, i dont know what to do. I might try just totally removing the EGR to see if it helps. The car is really starting to run bad though.

I had the same problem with my 95.

As it turned out it was the plug wires.

Even though I didn't see any arching in the dark, when i pulled the wires one was burned through.

I replaced my o2 sensors and my hesitation is gone! Have you tried replacing them yet?

No, but I will this weekend. I'll report back after I change them out, and see if it helps me like it did you.

Thanks for the update on our problem.
