Also remove the intake and clean the hell out of it. Especially in the area of the egr. If the tunnels running to the egr are filled with crap it can give high readings. I assume you've already done the basics like O2 sensor, plugs, fuel filter, etc, etc.

a chart that i have points to several problems that it could be:
1-egr system
2-loose missing vacuum lines
3-ignition timing
4-block or stopped up exhaust
5-fuel mixture to lean
6-carbon builup in the cylinders
7-catalytic converter
I am not a guru this is just off of a chart i use to help figure out why one wont pass the dreaded test----good luck
