I have a 02 pontiac grand am gt with a 3.4 engine it has 214000 miles the car idles very choppy and also smokes while idling and under acceleration it is hesitant to go but after about 2500 rpm it clears up and goes. I also should mention the smoke when it idles smells funky it kinda smells like unburned fuel. There isnt any check engine lights on and im at a loss. Any help would be very appreciated.

Remove the EGR valve and see if it has any carbon stuck in it and preventing it from closing all the way.

Is that located on the front valve cover?

Gunked up? Are you sure it's the EGR valve. Did it have an electrical plug?

You might be able to clean it our but it probably has a lot more in the engine that will get in there again. You may have to have an induction service done to break it up and blow it out the exhaust.
