Now i just need to do the diode/resistor setup to cancel the egr and i should be good!
I ordered all new vacuum lines and an intake manifold gasket from pelican this morning. I plan to pull the intake manifold to clean out all the sludge, and to get better access to what i think is the fuel prefilter, and cracked rubber fuel lines.
Anything else i should do while its off?

If you have the intake manifold off, consider changing the glow plugs. My '98 has 142,000 miles on it, and the glow plugs have been changed three times. Two of those times have been in the last 50,000 miles that I've driven in the last 11 years.
I've taken the taken my intake manifold off three times -- twice for glow plugs and once to change fuel line. If I had changed glow plugs when I changed the fuel lines, I would have taken the intake manifold off only twice. I now intend to change glow plugs anytime the intake manifold is off the car. Glow plugs are maintenance items which probably have to be changed every 25 to 50,000 miles on these cars.
