I was looking up the same thing and came across these answers: ...

"very well be that the egr valve is coverd in carbon. The carbon is easy to clean with a wire brush if you remove the valve.The main cause of malfunction in an egr valve is the carbon build up leaving it stuck open or closed! Simple huh?

i have a 99tl that had the same problem. simply remove the intake and clean the carbon from the passages to egr. it not difficult, it took about 15 mins and have not had trouble since, good luck!"
