Red face Still with my problem. Moisture?

Hey all;
For the longest time now I've had the problem with when I'm drivning and pop to neutral, the rpms drop, then shoot back up to 2k and stay there for a while. Then when I'm rolling up to the light, it bounces 1200 - 1500 until I come to a complete stop. I believe its the EGR valve bc I've gotten CELs from it before, but haven't in a long time now.

Anywho, I noticed (since its been raining really bad the last couple days) that when it's wet like that, the problem goes away. When I shift out of gear, rpms drop right down to 800-900 and stay there. Does that sound like a EGR problem? Would moisture cause the EGR to work properly then? I've cleaned and cleaned it and it works fine, but after a while it goes back to the way it was. Again, I'm cheap and don't want to spend the money unless I need to. Gas mileage still sucks also.
