Default another vacuum leak question?

so i finally installed my LS6, took the car for a ride and it was alright.suddenly it started misfiring i reused my gaskets since i couldnt find any cheaper than 100+ USD and i just couldnt wait any longer to have have them shipped online! also, my pcv line broke during the install and i left it opened just to see how car performs. i deleted egr but the block off plate seems to have a slight leak..could that leaky egr cause misfiring? i dont want to take the damn intake out again..ideas?

ok i double checked. injectors and wires are fine. AC blows air through the vents so the rear connections should be good. one thing is the egr block off plate is VERY loose and its leaking bad and i cant reach it with my wrench lol..could that egr cause misfire? i dont see how it would misfire from egr though..help please
