as long as the manifold is plugged where the egr valve is disconnected on on both ends it wont matter.

have you cleaned the throttle body and checked the IAC module?

does it run good once the not idling?

is it a idle problem, or a problem that happens all the time.

if it was just idle the throttle body can greatly be afecting the idle if its gummed up.
