Could be the EGR, but greater probability that it's the IAC. Other possible culprits could be the TPS and the MAF sensor, but still highest probability is the IAC. Some say they've had luck cleaning them with throttle body cleaner, but I never had any lasting results. I've always ended up replacing one if I've had a problem.
