I am curious to know what the scan told you when you originally checked it? A lot of people spend way more money than they should changing parts and guessing at the fix. Tell me a little more about the what the scan results.

SOURCE: I got a 99 tahoe 5.7 vortec with multiple misfires

this is one of those situations that a professional diag would of saved you alot of money. Its possible you just got bad gas and your injectors are partially clogged. An 02 sensor would not give multible misfires. EGR would only misfire at idle if stuck partially open since its suppose to be open cruising. Fuel filter would give you a starvation issue but if the misfires happens at idle then the filter most likley is ok.
Data from a professional data scanner will store the conditions when the misfire occurs. Also for a chevy each cylinder will have a misfire counter and one can see the misfire happening as it happens. If its idling and misfiring and gets better as you rev it up most likely you have clogged injectors or a intake vacuum leak. You can test for a intake leak by spraying the intake area with water(idle will faulter if it draws water in), or use brake cleaner (idle will raise when fluid gets drawn in).

If no leaks are found I would do an injection service or at least add two bottles of techron to a full tank, drve till half a tank then top off again.

Also if the catalytic converter is clogged the backpressure could cause all sorts of misfire issues. Removing the two upfront 02 sensors and driving will indicate the exhaust is clogged or not. We put a pressure sensor in place of the 02 sensor. If the pressure is above 5psi this would indicate some blockage. It should be below 3psi at 2000 rpm. Also if you have K/N filter the oil from it will coat the maf sensor wires in time,, (always). You can remove the sensor and spray the wires with brake cleaner to clean. DO NOT touch them. They can be brittle. Look at the wires for color. They should be shiny silver. If its coated the PCM will not see the air volume or accurately see the air temperature. Without this information the PCM will not add enough fuel which will create a misfire.

You may want to inspect your vacuum hoses. Look for missing, brittle, or cut hoses and replace them.

What do these codes mean on a diagnostics check? c, ev, o, oh,e? what are these numbers for ISO9141 KWP2000 and why does it steady blink on monitor then say backfire problems?

you need to read the manual for the machine you are hooking to the vehicle .
These are errors not codes you need to understand how it works better.

Jerking shifting gears

may need a transmission or overhaul that one so take it easy on it. changing the fluid and filter may help but sounds like the valve body is dirty and the trany cant shift like a new one.

Engine cut out

Sounds like you may have fuel filter problem. you may want to check the pump and filters located in or near the fuel tank.
Go directly to the source ( Fuel Tank, Pump, Filters, Fuel Pressure Regulator and Injectors )
You may have water or grit in the fuel
Hope this helps

96 escort 1.9 manual jerking while accelerating 96 escort 1.9 manual

best advice is dont go 40mph in 5th gear... if you are going up a hill at 40mph in 5th gear i have no doubt that it is jerking, your putting too much stress on the engine. shift up to 4th or 3rd you will be fine. 5th gear is an overdrive gear. 55+mph
