88 TC 302. Since i got this car it would sometimes die when putting it into reverse. Then restart and back up fine. Lately it has been getting worse. To where i had to give it some gas while changing gears. Then some days it is fine. Today it wouldn't start at all unless i gave it gas, but it idles too rough to want to drive.
What i have done so far
New fuel filter
New plugs/wires/cap/rotor
Vacuum lines cleaned up, new parking brake switch
Several tanks of fresh 89 gas
Battery is up and charging system works
Air filter clean
I read somewhere the egr has a small filter than can disintegrate and kill the idle. Supposedly it is under a round plastic cap on the passenger fender. Here is a pic of what i think is that part, with a new filter next to it for reference.
Is this the right part and how do i remove the cap? It will turn a little back and forth but not pop off. I read not to force or if it breaks the car won't run at all? thanks for any help
