Clogged big time, 221K on the odo and the the passages where completely blocked. I also took the opportunity to clean the TB and file down the tbv plate screws near flush.
Clogged EGR passages...
Back side of the TB (before)
And after (not exactly perfect, but hey)
There was also the address treat of finding out that the linkage between the rear and front secondaries was disconnected, lord only knows how long it's been that way!
The car idled +500 rpm after the work was completed so she's obviously breathing a lot better now, after resetting the computer everything is nice and crisp feeling now.
The linkage hasn't been addressed yet, I highly doubt I can get the plastic fitting that holds the linkage in place so I'm going to fashion my own out of a plastic grommet and use a c-clip to hold it in place.
