Had the same problem.

It's not the EGR valve. Instead of yanking out your hair and going bankrupt at the auto parts store, Go to a boneyard and get yourself another vacuum switch and another EGR solenoid out of a scrapped Firebird or Camaro.

For some reason these components like to crap out more frequently than other emission components.
