Well took the car for a decent ride (12 miles) and it was fine for the most part. It actually ran better then I remember on the path I drove, which was my old commute to work. The Idle is still a bit low running ~ 600 RPM. I'm not quite sure why.


But just for a reference. There are 2 ways to test the EGR. Put on the hose wil the car is off. Then try to blow and suck, as oppose to only blow. I couldn't blow through mine, but If i would suck on the hose I could hear a movement of whatever the valve is made of. It would "unpop" as soon as I would stop sucking on it. So I can definately rule out the EGR.
