i believe i have a bad egr bec after driving any distance the cars ide is about 1100in park and if i shut it off and start back up idles somewhat normal also the cars missing alittle bit so what are my options with the egr valve. should i buy that plate that covers the port or should i just buy a new one

 

Check over your spark plugs and your spark plug wires, first. Then ohm your injectors to make sure they're all higher than 14 ohms.

What makes you think the EGR is bad?

 

bec the idle sticks and the cars has a miss all the plugs and wires are new all the injectors ohm'd out at 17.9-18.1

 

blocking off your egr can potentially hurt your performance, if you think the egr is stuck why dont you back that thought up with a little diagnosis? take a vacuum pump to it to make sure its holding vacuum and make sure its got a full range of movement, keep in mind the tpis also have the wire coming off the egr valve to sense its position, make sure everything is in working order before you start cutting parts out, im sure this may sound dumb but did you check your tps? and your cables to make sure they arent stuck? have you reset the tps and/or IAC and reset minimum air?

 

tps is new and adjusted properly how can i check the egr my fingers dont fir through the little holes on this one

 

id say a screwdriver buuuut just dont puncture it

 

would a bad egr make it run shity at all rpms

 

no if i remember correctly

 

If the EGR is stuck open, then yes. You're getting hot exhaust gas mixed in with your fresh air and gasoline, at idle.
