I always start by blocking the EGR. It often sticks open and the idle gets rough or even dies. Other than that the car will run fine.

Ding, had the same issue with my 96. If you carefully clean the valve part in lacquer thinner and do not get any of it on/in the vacuum pot you can usually save it rather than paying big money for a new one.

They say there are no such thing as a stupid question.
They say there is always the exception that proves the rule.
Don't be the exception.
