Well I'm gonna have a fun weekend of Cleaning, EGR, IAC, MAF and Seafoam in the tank. On the plus side, just drove home from work and my Hoe idled pretty smooth. Maybe my Hoe is like me and just hates going to work...LOL

Well my Hoe is idling normaly again, could it have been bad batch of gas? I filled it up Monday and Tuesday the truck started to run better. Now it's smooth as silk. It just seems strange to me because I've been using Sunoco Ultra 94 fot the last couple of months. I'm still gonna clean the EGR and IAC this weekend(kill some time).

Could be your EGR, if a piece of carbon broke loose, it could have held the valve open temporarily then when it got through it would go back to normal. Happened to me a year and a half ago and my mechanic said that. Needed a new battery at the time and he said buy the battery first. Havent messed with the EGR since and its been fine. THinking about deleting it though. You look into that at all?

I would love to but Ontario Canada has strict emmisions testing now. Even if it would pass the E test it would fail because of the visual inspection. I had a Mustang a few years ago with no cats, air pump gutted and it still blew clean but it failed because the tech seen there was no cats on the car. Government cash grab I F*CKING hate it!!!

Well I cleaned EGR and IAC today. All I can say is wow, I almost can't tell if my Hoe is running. The EGR was all carboned up and IAC wasn't too bad. This forum is great :) thanks for the help guys.
