V6? 4cyl? what is the code? there is no code that says "replace egr valve", the passages may be stopped up. open the egr valve manually (a scanner may be able to do thiis) and see if the engine idles rough or stalls out (it should if passages are flowing) if not you need to take valve off and clean the EGR passages. If you cant open the valve, take it off, one hole is exhaust. the other will be vaccuum, from the intake manifold. A bad map sensor could also cause a egr malfunction code.
it's the EGR valve and can be fixed by anyone. It involves disconnecting the battery, remove electrical connection, and removing 2 screws and cleaning the surface area well and replacing it as well as the gasket. A new EGR valve runs around $120 and trust me you can fix this and save hundreds!
To me if the engine will not idel and stall once you have stopped, that points to an IAC (Idle Air Control sensor) which is located on your throttle body. The part is very easy to get to and changes out pretty quickly. Hope this helps. Thanks for an honest rating and for using FixYa!
