    For the egr to save you money the the throttle body off and the egr off and look at the 2 ports and see if they are clogged

    Mine were clogged so I cleaned them out with a qtip and throttle body cleaner and it fixed my egr code and lean code

    As for the o2's if you don't have cats they might just be a little dirty or if you have all the cats they might be clogged

    O2's can cause a misfire my mom had a misfire in cyl 4 on here suburban and when I layed on the gas the cel went off then at cruise it came back on and it was a o2 sensor that caused the misfire

    And I also like when my cel comes on cause there is a hot ass woman working at advance lol sometimes I unplug a sensor to get it to come out so we can talk and it won't get her fired

    Is your coil mounted in the front of your motor and it would have 4 wires coming from it if it is

    Also when was the pastime you changed your plugs?

    I'm gonna be getting msd coils for my truck one day when the originals go bad
