i just replaced my egr valve, my factory unit was starting to malfunction, i put the new one on, put dielctric grease on the male and female plugs, plugged them in, and when i started my truck, it idles lower, and seems to sputter when i give it gas at first, acts fine going down the road, but sometimes acts as if its going to die, when coming to a stop? what can i do to fix this, i already cleared my codes to try to let the computer find the pintel code on the egr valve.

Have you checked for vacuum leaks?
