I have a 75 1.8. I plugged up the EGR where it was hooked up at the muffler. I unplugged the EGR valve where it Tees to the distributor/throttle body. I still have to plug up the other hole where it goes right below the air cleaner. And the oil filler tube. I did a bunch of tune up stuff. Including replacing the decel valve. I did my timing also. Seems that when I advance my timing the problem goes away entirely. However the car dosnt run any better. At idle and during excel. even during de-excel. She backfires. I wonder if I need to hook my EGR back up. Im considering just welding it back into the muffler. I think advancing the timing is making the engine compust cooler, like when the EGR was hooked up. Any advice is apreciated. I might end up taking the car to a professional. If anyone wants to spare my bank account and come by. To listen or throw some ideas around. That would also be apreciated.

Yup! Any holes or leaks into the intake anywhere "downstream" of the air flow meter will make the car run like crap. Plug up them holes!!
