Need Help with a TBI350 Please!

X2 on check the EGR. I had a similar issue, the valve wasn't moving at all. I just plugged both ends of the vacuum line so I could drive it until I had the time to put in a new EGR.

tbi problems

Alright so I checked the timing, it was way advanced. Like past the tab, I would guess somewhere around 16* BTDC. So I brought it back to zero and it's much better, doesn't die anymore. It still idles up and down but it's pretty steady once it gets warm. I'm still gonna check some of the other...

Odd electrical problems

So I'm still working on this. I took the drivers door panel off today to check the wires. The solenoid is frozen, the end is broken off. The wire going to it is hot with the ignition on and not with the ignition off. Hitting the lock or unlock button briefly interrupts the power but that's it...

It's a 99 Suburban. The rear switch doesn't work either. All fuses are good, accessory relay is working fine. I haven't checked the wiring in the doors yet, that will be the next endeavor.
