Yes on all your guesses, at least that's what I would do.  Except for your EGR.  EGRs are a pain.  They are no good for your engine or horsepower.  It's an emissions thing.  All it does is put HOT exhaust gases back into your intake.  If you don't have to worry about emissions (like me  ) I'd just leave that one.  As for your EVAP let me do some research on that one.

ok wel as far as your evap sensor goes there could be so many problems worng.....are you a tech kinda guy...i will try to explain it to you if you arent.....i'm not very good at explaining so someone mayb correct me but your computer till only run the evap "test" when all the conditions are right.....by condidtions i mean engine  rpms engine temp things like that but they all have to be within a certain range and whatnot.....well the problem with that is it is very hard to narrow down the problems when you cant run the test...right?.....ok as far as solutions the evap is connected into so many different causes.....i know probably the EASIEST to fix would be next time you go to the gas pump make sure you turn you gas cap ALL THE WAY UNTIL IT CLICKS AT LEAST 3 TIMES......the check engine light WILL come on if you donnt......hopefully that is all your probelm.....other problems could be a leak somewhere in the system.....me personally i have seen the fuel bypass valve to rgulate how much pressure the injectors are getting (so much pressure it dumps and recirculates to the gas tank) i have seen them stick open and stick closed both before also the charcoal canister might be plugged etc etc etc....the are so hard to pinpoint....i know a guy that has taken a 2 year course on the stupid evap system and still has barely skimmed the surface......but i hope that helps you and if it doesnt hit me up a PM or on AIM soemtime i will try to describe a little bit more in detail....

misfire is back

After reviewing this post I feel that this is the only solution.

Just drop this in your gas tank and all your problems will be solved.

ok but really, this is starting to get annoying.

I thought timing was not able to be checked or changed on these 420a's?

I will tell you this, it sounds/feels like its timed great, and feels as fast leaning towards faster than the v6 auto venge I used to have.

The new cat converter made it run ALOT better but my catalytic monitor did not come back on (maybe because the rear o2 still needs replacing?)

When I lost my timing components at 70mph     (not a good scenario there) the shop that put my stuff back together had it off half a tooth and it seemed to have plenty of power but idled really really wierd.  Kinda made it sound like it had an RV cam or something.  Anyway, it is possible to have it skip a tooth or be off a bit if it isn't put together just right.


For the record, when you have your timing belt done, replace everything.  My idler pulleys for the timing belt froze up and grenaded, taking out everything related to timing components on my Venge.  Fortunatly I felt it lurch and popped it out of gear and coasted and didn't bend any valves.
