after i read almost every single post on 4x4wire regarding the egr, im almost positive my egr valve is sticking open and causing my truck to die. but because my truck has had a slight miss at almost all rpm's even before this started, it leads me to believe my egr was stuck shut before. i wish thief was still around so he could give me some insight. i should mention that before i put on my eb street rv head and 268 cam my truck ran smoothly. so my cam likely plays a large part in my problem.

im running a carter electric fuel pump so i dont have any weep holes.

how do you fix a sticky needle valve, carb rebuild?

when you asked if my carb bolts are tight, that made me wonder. when i hit the gas my carb makes a sucking sound, almost like an air leak, just like the intake on my moms v8 camaro which has a k&n intake kit. but my truck didnt always do this.
