EGR Failure!! Help!!

my SES light is throwing a code 32 (egr failure). it only comes on after i have driven the car for 15 minutes or so. how concerned should i be? can i drive the car for a couple days until i can get it fixed? what are my possible options? just a bad valve? any idea what will cost to get a new one? how hard is it to do myself? i dont have much experience with egrs as i'm sure you can tell. any other advice or past experiences would really be appreciated too.
thanks in advance

My 86 IROC does the same thing (only after about 4 to 5 minutes at a steady speed). It still runs great and get super mpg. I've decided to ignore it till the present exhaust system goes bad, then I'll put a muffler in the pipe and see if the SES light still comes on because of the code 32.
