Update after the engine got warmed up it will run and drive but it bounces around 5 to 700 RPMs and then eventually will chug its way up to 900 RPMs and stay there but then it started chugging again around 5 to 600 RPMs and through check engine codes I believe they are code 22 and code 32 I already replaced the map sensor I have a new air charge sensor on the way

Sorry I can't be of much help.  I'm playing school teacher this week.

I have an EGR solenoid. It's missing that little hose that's so often a problem on those, though.

The EGR solenoid won't cause any issues with the way the car runs even if it sets a code.  The popping is caused by other issues. 

The check engine light can be an annoyance, but it will come on and go off as you drive it, if it's only caused by the EGR system.  If you can wait long enough, I will be freeing up a solenoid in a month or so, as my 7730 conversion takes place. 

Did you replace the fuel filter with the new injectors install?  I'm having what I thought was a misfire but could be described as sputtering and popping.  It begins at about a half tank of fuel and gets worse as the fuel level drops.  I am now theorizing that it's caused by a bad pump to outlet hose that begins sucking air as the fuel level drops below it.  Filling the tank causes the problem to go away.  Do you have a full tank of fuel?

Pat, I have a piece of hose that we can install before shipping.

Supposedly, it's no biggie to find that hose.  Not sure what type of hose it is, though.

I have been replacing them for years with a length of fish tank aerator hose from my daughter's old fish tank.  The hose is almost gone.  I'm down to less than a foot.  Of course, she had the fish when she was in high school, over 20 years ago.

It was clear.  It's now aged to a nice lager beer amber color.  Sometimes the problem isn't the solenoid, but the little rubber piece that connects the hard plastic line to the solenoid.  It rots, becomes porous and loses its ability to hold a vacuum.  A little piece of the vinyl hose as a replacement solves the problem.

For the people who tried it, how long does it last in use?
