deff. check the ports but see about the erg . then again if it is the erg it well run rough and **** mostly like a vaccum leak .
erg? whats that, my ports are not stuck open but here's the thing i don't know if anyone elses na does this but from 1-3k it's slow then @ 4k it starts to pull but @6k it's like a kick in the pants then it pulls hard is it supposed to be like that or am i supposed to feel it pull evenly from 3800 to 6k? my ports are not stuck and i know they work b/c i pulled them and pressurized them and they moved. so if they are opening late what would cause this?

wooops im retarded haha EGR .
The EGR valve helps your car more efficiently and completely burn fuel by recirculating a portion of your exhaust and running it through the combustion process again. This results in a cooler, more complete burn of the fuel which decreases you car's noxious emissions by prohibiting the formation of some harmful gases.
got that from a site .. but if its not holding pressure it can cause a **** load of things . stalling, bucking ,lack of torque / power. i thought it was the horrible 3800 stumble but that"s more of a hick-up . but what ever. you can block it off with a plate . it's located on top of the mid housing under all that fun stuff called the dynamic chamber . try to get a hold of a haynes book for the car it helps.
you can also remove those rotating valves you were asking about . you loose little lower torque , your top end gets a little more power but nothing to go all crazy about .
my 87 n/a ran great with the egr blocked off and the valves removed
