CLEAN YOUR THROTTLE BODY... i dont understand why people in this forum never say that... think about it... your egr is recirculating exhaust gasses into your intake... exhaust is not a clean thing... its actually a high percent carbon... my car has 120000 miles and i took off the intake elbow and opened the throttle... FILTHY... absolutely gross... to me this seems like a more logical place to start than boost leak or fuel problems
and the kicker is that its so easy to do and SHOULD be part of your general maint.
the procudere from alldata
1. remove elbow attatched to throttle body
2. put tape over the two holes at the bottom inside the throttle body
3. spray the hell out of it with carb cleaner (go play with yourself for 5 min.)
4. wipe out with rag and reasseble
5. start car and rev until you can get a decent idle....
6. let idle for a few...
7. repeat if necesary
after driving a day after doing this i usually like to disconnect the battery to reset the pcm
