    Sounds like a wiring problem. Let me know if you want me to diagnose it for you.

    wiring or if the vaccume isnt hooked up it will throw the code to. check the vaccume diagram. the EGR code wotn make your car run in limp mode or anything, it realyl dosnt do crap. people who put skunk2 intake mani. on their cars that are still OBD2 just leave it off and it will throw it, or they just plug it up and let it hang so there wont be a CEL.

    Using a vacuum pump, apply vacuum to the EGR valve at idle. If it dies, its working properly.. if it doesnt die then your valve may not be working or the passages are clogged.

    If it does die and your car is throwing an EGR code, its likely that the EGR VSV is bad or not hooked up correctly. what year is it?
