Yes, the EGR issues on this engine are notorious. I replaced one vacuum modulator in the EGR system but it didn't make a difference. One of these days I'll have to spend a lot of time chasing down the exact problem. The check engine light will go off, stay off for a while but then typically at around 68mph it will come back on and stay on until it cycles off again.
