Here's my problem in a nutshell:

First:
Sometimes it will take one click of the ignition (turn if the ignition key) to start the car. Most of the time it will take more than one. If the car dies while driving it will take over 10 clicks to get it running.

Second:
Car will cut off. It use to be fine after driving for 15 min. Then it would be fine after sitting for 5 minutes while running. Then... it would be fine after keeping my foot on the gas for a minute or so. Now... those things really don't work.

Sometimes the car will be great. Then out of no where it will cut off, esp. when I'm about to start off from a red light or turn a corner. That's when it will take 10-15 min of key turning to get the car started. When it starts it will die as soon as I take my foot off the pedal. I have to keep it on there for at least 5 min until it's safe for me to drive where I have to go.

My car is a "W" 1993 s10 4wd Blazer. I've been told two things: the spider for the intake manifold needs fixing/replacement and 2. the EGR needs replacing.

I've already accepted the fact I'm gonna have to shell out alot of money. Can anyone concur with the info? I appreciate your knowledge.
