I brought it to Advance Auto. They pulled the code, and as suspected, "EGR flow". I did a search here and found that these engines seem to plug up the EGR tube. Tomorrow I'll yank it off and see what's up. I'll also pull the EGR valve - its probably crudded up and needs a good cleaning. Hopefully, that will fix the problem. I'll let y'all know what I find.

Pulled the EGR valve today. There was carbon build up around the seat, plunger, and seat chamber. The valve could not close becuase it was so fouled up with build-up. Cleaned it all up with dentist's tools. The engine hasn't idled this nicely in a long time. I guess it has been getting worse over time and I simply didn't notice it.
All fixed - thanks for the advice!
