Pull codes and it will probably tell you exactly what is the issue.

It's saying the EGR position sensor is reporting that the EGR is not responding/opening. It could be a bad EGR valve, bad EVP sensor, a bad EGR solenoid or a break in the vacuum lines somewhere.

Any EGR problem could definitely cause a low idle if the valve is not closing properly.
