Unplug the solinod on the vent canister.drivers side,near headlight.try the egr controller too.beside the egr,with the plug.

Check the A/C clutch wiring too.

I think that's on the same fuse, sometimes the diode wires get twisted up in the connector and short out. Or the diode blows shorting it out.

thanks for the fast responses. ok i tried all the above and narrowed it down to the egr sol. my next question is, all i have to do is replace that or is there more to it? thanks again,jeff

If the chip you have doesn't pulse it, ie. typical performance chip, and you don't need it for emissions, you can just leave it unplugged.
