Love the new lay out...

So I checked the EGR valve last night and thats not the issue. It moves freely as it should. I hooked a vacuum up to it and it bogged the engine and made it sputter like it should. I also ran a vacuum test and everything checked out good. It has a rough idle and sort of vibrates down the road. I rechecked the plugs, wires, cap, and rotor which are all good. So what could it be? Two other things I thought of was maybe the timing is off or I have a clogged cat. Not sure about the cat though.

Well I decided to check the wires one last time and found one of them to have a cut in the boot. This was not giving it a connection. So it was running on 7 cylinders. I took the wire down to the parts store where I got them and they replaced it free of charge. Went home slapped it on, and problem solved. I think the new drives shaft and u-joints fixed the jerking/bucking. The hesitation is very very minimal now. I still don't know whats causing that.

Thanks everyone who helped me get the hoe healthy again! Now I'm going to go outside and wash all the mud and crap off her thats been there for a week.
