"So now I'm thinking I may have knocked a vacume line off...or the "Rook" cut one of my hoses"?????
I'm about to go out and play with the EGR valve following Kens sequence below.
OK first test worked just like Ken said, push up from bottom of valve and car wants to die out. I'm off to a cruise night so will try next check when I get home and ebo woman can work the throttle for me.
let me clarify....The Gas pedal......man I should know better to pick my words

Joel, car ran pretty crapy tonight lots of hesitation, when I accelerate it goes but when you just cruise you feel it holding back.
Good friend of mine in our vette club is an older retired mac tool salesman, he's fantastic on Carbs. He asked me when the last time the carb was kitted and I said never. He said I think it is deserving of a kit. I'll pull the carb this weekend and have him rebuild it. Coming down hill to my drive way I down shifted to 2nd and it chirped then also, almost seems like an exhaust leak. When it goes through the gears its in puurrrfect harmony with the RPM's
So how much are EGR valves is it a no brainer to just replace it anyhow?

OK put the rebuilt Q-jet back on and went for a spin, still have the hesitation and the chirp. Since I have run some of engine additive maybe cat is plugged would that cause hesitation?
I'm pretty sure all the hoses are good as I was able to check that all real good with the carb off.
And still not sure about the egr valve? Plus I guess even though it does not sound it wonder if I do have a bad spark plug. I know last fall when I did change the plugs one was loaded with the white yellow deposits......
Carb looks great though the guy rebuilding it said he never saw one with the anodize still looking like new, light brushing with laquer thinner cleaned it right up.
