A "clogged" EGR valve could not cause a poor idle, as it's supposed to be closed at idle. Pinging under acceleration, higher operating temperatures maybe. But it would have to be stuck open (or otherwise open when it's not supposed to be, which includes at idle) to cause a poor idle quality.
So, which actual code was this anyway? Because I can't think of any "low pressure" that would relate to the valve itself. It operate on vacuum not pressure. Maybe the pressure sensor, but not the valve.
If we had the actual code, maybe someone who knows what's what could clear this up, and save you a lot of money wasted on perfectly good parts being replaced?
