What longtubes do you have? My macs cleared perfect. I bought ebay specials and had to put one of the primaries in a vice to clear the steering shaft. Fixed any touching binding issues.

Good question.. They're an unknown brand, crust-o-matic but basically free 1 5/8" long tube.. Judging from pictures on google, they're MAC headers. Do you have a picture of yours?

Several of these don't mean SHIT as I've deleted the EGR but a couple have to do with the EVAP system..

CA853CF1-70C0-4C71-BAC8-30C91B09C167_zpsiguygg1t.jpg


You guys have any of these codes?

P1443Evaporative Emission Control System - Vacuum System - Purge Control Solenoid or Purge Control Valve fault
P1401Differential Pressure Feedback Electronic Sensor circuit High Voltage
P1409?EGR Vacuum Regulator circuit malfunction

P1000 OBD-II Monitor Testing Incomplete
^^ this went away after 100 miles

0153 02 Sensor Circuit Slow Response (Bank 2 Sensor 1)
^^ I'm going to buy a new O2

P1260 Theft Detected - Engine Disabled

^^ I just don't know..

P0307 Cylinder 7 Misfire Detected

^^ That turned out to be a loose spark plug boot


Going to purchase the following parts later:

CP-505: Vapor Canister Purge Solenoid

CP-509: Vapor Canister


Last weekend, I loaded the 87 tune the SCT tuner had pre-loaded, turned off the EGR + the rear o2 sensors, set my idle around 600, replaced the Vapor Canister, Purge solenoid and some vacuum lines to cure the P1443, P1401 codes. All of this turned the CEL off and while it does run better, my idle farting, low speed stumbling issue remains.

Check your fuel too, injectors or lines maybe. Does it happen under wot or idle. 98 might be lines collapsing because of age.

Most noticeable below 2500 RPMs or at idle. Not sure during WOT but most likely. I'd thought about changing the injectors out when I did the top end but ran out of time collecting parts.
