engine running bad

the engine is a 4.3 liter out of a 93 pick-up that my freind swapped into his 2.8 camaro. everything was running fine for months, now he has a code 32 and 33? the car runs very bad and feels like a huge miss. the tune up is brand new. any help?

those are codes for the EGR system, you may need to check the vacuum on the solenoid and the valve. mayb take it to a shop and have them do a lookaround, they can diagnose it and you can fix it, cheaper than replacing parts that may not need to be replaced.

yeah, i noticed the EGR code. being out of the newer vehicle there isnt actually any vacuum lines running to the valve so i guess its just a bad EGR valve. i just didnt know that a bad EGR valve could make it run bad
