I would start by checking the EGR and PVC valves. Something changed to cause that kind of drop. Maybe a O2 sensor but that have lit the CEL.

no check engine light? there should be with a problem of this nature, even the plugged EGR should toss out a warning- efficiency should be monitored....somewhere?....the built in diagnostics~

no c e l. need to check intake and other vac lines and vac operated devices for leakage and function and will check intake manifold gaskets and egr valve also will check idle air control valve as well and clean carbon deposits. thanks for your help.
