New plugs, new spark plug connectors and a clean egr tube. It purrs bit I haven't had time to really drive it.

I will not clean the EGR tube again. That took much more time than breaking it loose. And getting it loose was a time consuming PIA. It now makes more sense to me to just replace it with the non-clogging part.

The plugs I pulled out were Bosch Platinum 4s. The car ran with these since I got it. But... warm starts always required partial gas pedal. Now it requires no pedal to start. Just turn the key. It likes the copper plugs much better.

My only concern with the project was that #5 plug tube had oil in it. The plug was clean, all 6 had greyish deposits, but this plug connector had oil on it. Perhaps a seal? I hope!

Thanks to all for your help!
