No, it likely means the pipe from the EGR valve to the throttle body is clogged. How many miles on your car? If over 80 or 90k, the tube is clogged. They all do it eventually due to the crappy design of the EGR system. You can attempt to clean the tube using a drill motor, an old speedo cable, and some solvent (roto-rooter method), but the right thing to do is to replace the tube. The part is about $70 and it is a major PITA to do that job. The last quote I saw on the forum here for that job was over $900.

To verify that this is the problem, you need to test the EGR valve and its ancillary systems. You can do that yourself pretty easily with a hand vacuum pump like a MityVac. If you want to try, let me know and I'll hook you up with some links to do the job.
