Miles? Any other info, like engine running rough/smooth/normal? An entire EGR valve is under $150, so not sure what huge bucks looks like?

Also, you can get the codes yourself with a factory service manual and a paper clip.

Check the codes. Just replaced my vacuum modulator and VSV, cleared right up. Alos replaced ALL the vacuum hose and cleaned the little vacuum passage through the intake which was completely clogged. In hindsight, the clogged vacuum was probably the whole problem but as I have to borrow driveway space to work in and my vehicle is my wifes DD, I threw a couple of parts at it as well.

If you pull the intake, do the PHH at the same time, I did and it makes access at least a tad easier!
