I deleted the EGR vacuum lines by looping the 2 vac lines on the top of the throttle body back into each other and presto fixed yeah!

Must have been the egr solenoid or associated vac lines leaking lol.

C130flyer, thanks!!

19.5PSI, I'm from California and until it is time to run my car through the sniffer test, I'll go with this method. I will have to find the root cause of this loping issue though.

I think that the root cause is the EGR activation solenoid on the back of the intake

I'll have to check out the solenoid.

The looping of the two vacuum lines did not do the trick for me.

You for sure have a vacuum leak I watched your video.

I just ordered a smoking vacuum leak tester it was like 900 bucks.

When it gets here I will test it out and try to find where this issue may be coming from.

I feel like its time for someone to step up and figure this out for everyone.
I AM ON IT BRO"S

I had to replace the air fuel servo and clean out the EGR. Now the car idles perfect.

also pure degreaser works best for cleaning.

Good luck!
