    I did an EGR delete on my 2.7 1998 SR5 which included plugging all the vacuum lines, putting the plates on the intake and exhaust. Tried both the ¼ watt 10k and the 5.6ohm resister and kept the EGR temp sensor in place . Reset the ECU. Started the truck up and it started fine until I started to accelerate and it started to bog down, backfired, and felt a huge loss of power.
    I put the EGR system back to stock and it still has the same symptoms. It runs especially rough at 2k rpms.(Manual Transmission)
    Recent maintenance
    Idle adjustments
    Oem fuel injectors
    Maf sensor
    EGR temp sensor


    I also had to rewire the precat o2 sensor. But I drove it for two weeks and it was fine, but if anyone could give me advice on the pin configuration for that pigtail that would be awesome because I didn't find much online that matched my trucks wire colors. Or how to differentiate the ground wires

    Thank you so much!! l
