I'm thinking that maybe if a vacuum line is busted from the intake to the regulator, its not going to get vacuum to pull the diaphragm up. But the code description is "egr valve open at idle". If the diaphragm would be broken, wouldn't that be a major vacuum leak, cause my surge and hesitation, and then my non illuminated code?
with a vac. leak or EGR valve open at idle, poor idle should show up first.
