Re: Cut EGR wires - Is your check engine light on? Also - rough running when the engine is cold is a classic symptom of the glow plugs or glow plug relay not doing their job - I believe the relay on this engine is designed to stay on for a few minutes after the car is running to help smooth out cold start ups.

The missing/hesitation I was experiencing was at highway speed, around 60-70 mph, the engine would hesitate and stutter. Startups and around town driving were unaffected, though milage suffered.
