Default RE: OBD 1 question

I found out that when I replaced my distributor and rotor I broke a small Vac line going to my MAP.. LOL Well I fixed it and the light went off. My car is still running like crap though. The idle jumps from 800-1500RPM back and forth... Do you think there is some kind of vaccum leak somewhere else?

Does not sound like a normal vacuum leak. Unless the vacuum leak is messing with something else.How is it when you drive it? AKA is this a just idle issue or is showing up under light throttle? Hvy throttle? Could be a weak IAC or a sticking EGA vlave or even an injector issue..

It shows up mostly at an idle and light throttle. I also noticed a loss of power at high rpm and it is using more fuel.

The more I read up on my issues the more it sounds like the egr. Is there any way I can remove this from my intake and have the car run correctly? I don't have any worries with emissions.
