If the Intake Air Thermosensor isn't working, it could cause the car to stumble. You might first check the wiring to the sensor. If the wiring is ok, replace the sensor. As for the EGR, I don't believe that would cause the car to stumble, but I've never experienced that ECU code.

well Mahjik is right and since you have a cali car, the egr going bad will make the ecu go to limp mode, thereby disabling the tps. The car will buck and run crappy. Replace the egr and the IAS and you should be fine.

Having an old fuel filter is not going to trigger an IAT error code. Fix the codes and then see if you still have the same symtoms.

But when you fix your problem change that fuel filter as well. You don't want a bad fuel filter.

hey guys i have the same problem. my problem comes and goes and it always happens during rain. heres my situation just incase it may differ. when ever i am driving in the rain or in traffic where i have to constantly stop and go my car begins to jump or boost with out me putting any pressure on the gas. my rpm level is usually around 2-3k mark when this occurs. i was thinking that i had boost problems due to an accident that i was recently in but when i let an experienced driver drive it they say it is fine b/c it doeen't happen with them. i know there is something wrong with my car but cant seem to pinpoint it yet. what is the EGR responsible for, or what are its purposes. thanks guys, and RE13REW if u solve your problem can you please pm me. thanks

rxpimpin7....... actually my problem is not go through 3K, i think it is same as yours.... does yours like lag of power, or the power does not pick up when the hesitation comes on, right ??? cuz mine is no matter how hard i step on the gas, the car is just stop in that rpm and start shaking. but once the turbo kickin the hesitation will goes away... and i m thinking about the wastesgatch rely or switch..... because it like turbo wastegatch release the air that not suppose to release.... (i mean the wastegatch let the pressure out while the turbo kicking in) you know what i mean..... so what do you think...???
