Yea but knowing if it gets getting or worst with temp may tell us something.

Temp 77*F / Humidity: 70%

0-1 KR in 1st
1-5KR in 2nd

So it got worst after it got cooler...

Im going to keep it under 3/4 throttle until i get from work tomorrow and change the pulley back.
Then im going to test for KR again, Because i KNOW for a fact i got 0 KR anywhere before so im hoping for non now.

Then the long possess of finding what is making the KR yay...

yea i know, but a good amount of what makes KR i have al ready check or ruled out.

So now im down to...
-Cracked manifolds
-other exhaust leaks
-SCer coupler? maybe?
-more Vac leaks?

Have you removed and inspected your upper EGR tube for cracks? If not definitely do that. Check underneath the two brackets on both ends.

IIRC the 95 exhaust manifolds weren't as prone to cracking as the previous years. I could be wrong. :? Still a possibility though.

Have you inspected the EM'*?

Have you eliminated cylinder carbon deposits?

The coupler has nothing to do with it.

On the carbon deposits..yes Seafoam.

On the EM cracks. The temporary fix is welding.
