Did you use a Delco EGR?
You might want to test for a glitch in the TPS.

Just for the heck of it, disconnect the vacuum line from the EGR valve & take if for a spin and see if there is any difference

Vacuum line? Wouldn't it be electric?

Make sure that they check the EGR vacuum modulator and vacuum lines too. Funky vacuum signal to the EGR valve could be a possibility also.
Since we volunteer our time and knowledge, we ask for you to please follow up when a problem is resolved.

What did you mean by "the vacuum wasn't right"?
Doesn't sound to serious, either a bad solenoid. If it was an AM EGR valve, some of those come with an assortment of different sized orfice washers. It's possible that maybe a too large of washer was installed...
But sounds like you are in good hands, I'm sure your guy will get a handle on it & it be back up to 100%
