If it's only when warm, it should be a bad sensor, somewhere.
The MAF is plugged in?

Just tossing out ideas. Sometimes it's the simple things we miss LOL

I hear ya man, it's gonna end up being something really stupid after all this hunting.

The MAF is plugged in haha, I even change it out for another one just to make sure... and that one is plugged in as well lol.

If you loose one cylinder it'll sound like big cams.

I assumed the spark plug wires were all okay since the plug tips all looked good when I pulled them, none where wet or showed signs of not firing. Does a dead cylinder usually throw a code? Will check the packs and wires again

Interesting, I hadn't looked there cause there was no CEL. did your throw a code when your EGR was sticking? I'll check it and see thanks
