What you think it is, is not

you think you have a fuel problem.
the filter,pump
next the EGR TPS , fuel pump relays and other crap.

car seams to run fine but studders. your sure its fuel or timing. the computer is giving codes but fixing them never helps.

check the coil. no matter how new it is. a 11.99 parts is a much easier fix.

fire the car up in the dark and look for blue flashes.

oh and i find my car idles beter with the EGR vaccum hose plug off.

with it plug in, it goes from 1000-900rpm back n fourth. up n down, like plusing.

pluged off EGR it idles smooth at 1000-1100 rpm.

I launch at 1500+ so I like a higher idle.

Remotly mount the coil though, put it somewhere cool, and rig a way to vent it out. Heat is the #1 killer of these things.
