Ok here’s the latest. Heard might be the EGR, so I unhooked it and it ran somewhat better, so I took it off and cleaned the piss out of it, it was blacker than black with a lot of build up around the 2 holes. Also person said might be torque converter causing shack, advise me to go to parts store and buy this Shutter lube you add to you transmission fluid..and I did, I'll try anything at this point. So far, it runs like a scalded dog, but I'm not holding my breath, just waiting on the SES light to come back on...I'll keep everyone posted.

UGHHHHHHHH !!!!!!!! Spoke to F'n soon. was driving home from work last night, had cruise control set on 70, then about 45mins later..it just turns off, like someone turn the key back to the ACC position. I was listing to the radio, it stayed on and the lights on dash cluster came on as well..(Batt,oil light, etc)..no motor activity..I put it in neutral and coasted over to side of road...turned off switch, headlights etc.., then tried to start it .NOTHING, engine just turns over..I can hear the fuel pump running, so don't think its that, since days before test pressure and it showed good,
So here's whats done, New plugs ( E-3's) , cap, button, wires, Crank Shift Position sensor, and cleaned EGR Valve. I'm now lost, still no SES code, I hate the guessing game..but, what should I try next???

Also would like to say, the day before and the morning I drove to work, and on way home till it happened( day after cleaning EGR) my HOE ran like a scalded dog, never missed a beat, I was happy... then.....knocked back to square 1

SCRAP THOSE E3 SPARK PLUGS NOW MISTER.
Use only Delco 41-993 or Autolite XP605 or plain 605's if you need a plain copper plug core for some reason. But check your egr again to make sure something did not lodge it open as well. BTW if you have not heard yet use only delphi or delco sensor on your vehicle.

Yeeeeeeeeah people hate on those plugs here, someone got some vortec ones, put them in an old school head and they actually touched the piston so now they are garbage lol.

Check all the wires and make sure none are frayed would be my next step.
