So... i did some searching and i found sound of the old post they say that the EGR is Not cheap to replace... and that you should try cleaning it first...
I just wanted to make a new post to see if there is any new info and Tips for this problem.
Heres some of the past links i found.

Check the vacuum lines going into the side of the throttle body and try cleaning the EGR before you replace it. The EGR code will be thrown if, when the EGR is commanded to open, the mixture does not lean out significantly. This can be caused by things other than a bad EGR, usually a vacuum leak. I got this code for a while some time ago and cleaned the EGR. That didn't fix it, but the loose vacuum line did. An iffy MAP sensor can contribute to this as well if it isn't reading the manifold pressure correctly. Regardless, if you are short on cash, this is not an urgent problem. You can drive it with a bad EGR almost forever, except you will have the light. If your state does emission testing, this will cause you to fail as well.
