Re: Do I have a bad EGR valve? (1991 Camaro 3.1)

Probably fouled the plugs. Pull adn inspect them then clean them. Also block the EGR port if you have it pulled off. That will casue a bad idle in itself.

Re: Fuel pump problem

By the way, I think you probably have a bad fuel pump. What kind did you put in it last time? I recommend staying away from parts store alternatives and get a Walbro 255.

Re: Fuel pump problem

This is what it is and it should be very near the canister itself. On my 91 it was about 6 inches up the vacuum line.

Re: 350 TPI EGR Solenoid question

Also check your EGR solenoid and EGR. If it is constantly open, you are getting Exhaust Gas Recirc at idle and that can cause a rough or surging idle.
