I'd be with Mastertech if it was a surge...
it was called one thing, but it was explained as a "dropout" or "cutout"
like the ignition being momentarily turned off...
I'm not sure I'd trust any EGR codes out of this particular system anyway... if I recall correctly, they ALL threw EGR codes, but not all of them had the cutout problem he's describing.
But I'm also guessing because none of us have driven it...
surge = lean = egr
cutout = electrical = primary ignition
dunno.
guys like me and Mastertech, who've been around the block a few times with these can usually tell the difference between a fuel problem and an ignition problem.
but when someone else is having the problem, especially as it is being explained on the internet, makes it difficult.
So, Aric, I'd have to say you've got a 50/50 shot it's either or both parts...
Suppose you could always pull the EGR valve and see how sticky the pintle is... generous shots of Blaster with working the valve open & closed can free up a sticky one for a few days to weeks...
a toolman might still have a TFI tester he's willing to get off of cheap... problem is, I've had them pass Hall Effect switches that were oozed down into the bottom of the bowl...
might wanna start with a "wiggle" test?
