    I need help, nobody can answer this!! Im rarely stumped!

    Wouldn't that cause a constant vaccum to the egr, not sure about speed density cars but maf cars get vac from the tab tad solenoids on the passenger strut tower don't they? That would cause the erratic idle and temp. EGR does not need constant vaccum.
