What year vans? There is another part in the system. There a vacuum relay on the drivers side valve cover that controls the flow of vaccum to the egr valve. If it's goin bad it can do that. It may be sticking open, there are actually 3 the EGR one is the largest one. THe other two control parts of the AIR system.

Take off the engine cover, it's a big round thing if I remember right.. I'll look at my dad's tomorrow if I remember. There are also two little square ones on the same bracket. Make sure the vacuum lines are in good condition as well. As you look at them from inside the van, it should be the one closest to the front of the engine.

Code 33 = EVP not closing properly -

The EVP is the "EGR Valve Position" sensor that sits on top of the EGR valve. It is either gray or black and has three screws that attach it to the ERG valve. There is an electrical connector that goes to it. You can either replace it or test it depending on your skill. If you replace it remember to take care with the oring seal between the EVP and the EGR valve.
