..longitudinal oscillations are most probably due to EGR acting...sometimes the computer hesitates between positions and the actual EGR valve hesitation can depend on the position feedback resistor (as 94 has the linear EGR valve). WIth my 93 3 valve EGR, I can feel the hesitation from one combinaison of valves to another....All that is "idiosyncrasy" and without consequence unless aggavated by component failure and then it pops a code.
