Ok, Yesterday I managed to removed the bolts myself. I removed the EGR valve as directed and informed and the EGR did not looked clogged...I didnt see an open port on how it could be clogged. ...So i cleaned it anyways with carb cleaner ( I let it soak for a few minutes then did some light scrubbing) Now my question is should i remove the throttle body and clean that....If that dosent help then what?

Well, new EGR is on, did it myself...didnt fix jacksh1t. Unless there is something I forgot to day like reset the computer? would that matter? My mechanic is comming over tommorow to help me clean the throttle body...and if that dosent work then i guess im on my way to pepboys to pay $79.99 for a flow chart diagnostic test...errr
Watch, i bet its something simple as hell
On another note:
Today at work I was mad at this dumb **** who dosent do **** (im training him) and he was watching me do something that he was supposed to be helping then he turned around and acted like the b1tch was ignoring me so i turned back around and punched the floorboard of this golfcart i just completed and now i fractured knuckle or two...its called a "Boxers Fracture"
Swollen like hell, trying to avoid going to hospital cause im poor. Cheap also.
So do I have to disconnect the battery, insert key as if to crank then hold for some seconds or something?? will that do the trick?

im %100 sure this is the prob and a good cat will be about $200..
I better also replace the o2 sensors which are $21 a piece (there are two)
So this means I just bought & already installed..
1. All new ignition coils
2. New Ignition Modulator
3. Spark plugs & Wires
4. New EGR valve.
all that adds up to about $458
NOW im going to have to get a new cat & o2 sensors which totals those two up to..about $244
I will end up spending a total of $712
$598 of that I didnt even need...Why do I feel sick to my stomach??
I have one important question:
Will I be able to hold off for about 2 weeks on getting the new cat and 02 without causing any engine damage?? The probloms here shouldnt get worse right?
