Mike, you might be crudded up solid right where the exhaust exits the EGR system just behind the throttle plate. Pull the black plastic air intake away from the TB, pop the throttle plate open with your finger & shine a flashlight in there. You will see a (approx) 3/8" tube towards the bottom of the chamber. This is the EGR outlet. This commonly gets plugged with carbon. You can clean it with a long thin screwdriver, bottle or test tube brush, or something similar. Intake cleaner sprayed from the EGR base *usually* clears this, but stubborn ones take some more elbow grease. If all else fails, maybe your EGR valve is the culpret & needs to be replaced. They are pricey since they are 'feedback' EGR valves (valve sends flow & position signals to ECM).
G/luck
