The EGR should be near the exhaust manifold. Perhaps someone with hands on experience would jump in with specifics. Anyone?

I'm having exactly the same problem with my 2004 Grand Cherokee V-8. It started suddenly. Were you every able to solve the problem? My mechanic says that it is caused by carbon build-up.

I thought it may be that, so I sealed all the vacuum pipes off the inlet manifold but it makes no difference. Do you know of another test I can do to ascertain whether I have a vaccum problem. Please bare in mind I am in the middle of the bush in N Africa.

I am still having the problem but I think I am getting closer to the cause. I am almost certain it is electrical as it gets worse when the engine gets hot.

This is a message to all those who have been having the same problem with the Grand Cherokee as I have been. See message a week or so back.
 
I tried everything such as TCS, IAC, MAP sensor, Coil etc with no luck. Finally I took the fuel tank off and it was full of dirt and sand. The fuel pump was weak so I changed that. Now the car is running as sweet as a nut. In fact it is running like a bastard and I have already frightened myself with the speed.
 
I hope this helps others who have the same running problems.
 
Good luck
