Make sure your EVR is plugged in. The EVR control solenoid is located on the back of the intake manifold closest to the driver side, its a small piece of black plastic with a circle shaped top. There is 2 vacuum lines that plug into it and a wiring harness, make sure the harness insulation isnt falling apart, make sure your vacuum lines are plugged in and not broken at any point.
