Cleaning your EGR passages, making sure the EGR works, if not, replacing. Almost sounds like you have a stuck injector. But it could be a clogged cat.

cross over pipe? is it original, if so, it may have cracks in it, actually its a garentee there are cracks, and it will make it run very rich and you will fail emmisions. I would purchase a Rebuilt one, either used or new, search around here for more on it
