2.6 Surge Problemm!!

[blaketippett]

I am getting either a bad surge problem while driving. Replaced coil, plugs, wires are new, cap and rotor are both perfect as well. Where may my problem be coming from?

Any help or advice will be GREAT!

Check the vacuum hoses, especially the ones in the box on the driver side of the engine compartment. That box sends signals to the computer that controls the carb. Also clean the EGR valve, its on the intake in front of and below the carb.

i cleaned the hell out of egr the other day it have black stuff all caked on it i got off all i could and cleaned it really good with some carb cleaner and tuned the carb perfect and still doing it man

then it is the hoses or the pcv valve

where is the pcv valve on here at? its surging like hell like its electric. iv checked the hoses but some are a lil dry i prolly need to replace them all!

The PCV is in the valve cover. If you use rockauto.com it will show you a picture of it. Also has the fuel filter been changed?

[blaketippett]

changed fuel filter last night but havent drove it since. i did crank it and it was still surging at idle you can hear it big time

[blaketippett]

cant find a pic of it on rockauto.com but it a awesome ass site man!

Is it fuel injected or carb? Also how do the brakes feel? It might be a vacuum leek. Can you post up a picture of the engine for us. Check the intake bolts. They like to come loose over time.

carb. all the hoses seem ok. brakes feel normal. i checked all my bolts all is good. will a cracked exhaust manifold cause it to sputter/surge like?
