I doubt if both 02's are bad all of a sudden. What's the code? I'm thinking the seal at the EGR tube/intake is leaking unmetered air throwing the fueling off.

/agree

make sure that line is plugged up. you should be able to put a freeze plug on a 98 alot easier then the 00-02 model EGR/AIR setup. On my 01 that line feeds in behind the Intake manifold. So i plugged the tube over an exposed thread on the fuel rail for now.
