question about sr

[Dr. Dooms]

in the picture below the "egr sensor" and "wastegate valve control solenoid"
how important are these?
i just got an sr and its running like garbage (under heavy throttle breaking up and popping, also running extremely rich)
and as i started inspecting it i realized these are missing but the igniter is just bolted to the strut tower
im assuming this would cause an issue correct?

any ideas or advice would be awesome

edit: also i have
checked compression
checked coilpacks
checked injectors
maf
plugs
o2
no vac leaks
and everything seemed fine

How are the sparkplugs? Also what gap are they set too?

I'm not sure because when I pulled them I didn't have a gauge on hand
but the car runs fine sometimes and others it runs like garbage so j don't think they have anything to do with it
but they are new

Find out the Gap also what head range?

 

[Sphinx415]

i heard the gap should be .028 and heat range 6. 7 if your running 350+ hp

I plan on checking the gap tomorrow
and I think they are 8
I'm just going to get some bkr7e.
Or what ever they are called

thanks but im pretty sure stuff like the maf,coilpacks,igniter and shit like that is different from the s13 redtop to the s14 sr

I run BKR7e's gapped at like .025-.028

it has different ones in it now so im going to throw those in there
thats what i ran in my rb
but i dont think its the plugs because it runs fine sometimes and like shit other times

bkr7e-ix stock plugs... i ran the bkr7e standard and my car would be fine at 8 psi .but as soon as i hit high boost. pop missfire ext..

if you took his whole car the problem is the chasis lol

explain?
the fender harness was chewed to shit

i put it back together and it ran great then two days later ran like shit
but its doing something different than it was to start with

now that im thinking about it i wonder if the harness in the fender got chewed up again because my front wheels are rubbing like crazy still

i just checked the fuel pressure and with the vacuum line off it was 48psi and with it on 38psi
the injectors are all spraying fine

hit the waste gate with a hammer if it snaps back try driving it if it works its the waste gate getting hung up it happend to me.

You can't trust just your vac/boost gauge to tell if there are any leaks. You need to actually pressurize the system and check for them, do a boost leak test, that is what it sounds like to me.
