The thermactor system is the one that pumps air into the exhaust for the cats to help with emissions.

The egr is not monitored via this system and has its own codes. It sounds like you might have a partially stuck open EGR valve or faulty EVR. Do a search on EGR and EVR and I'm sure you'll come up with testing and cleaning procedures if you wish to repair it.

Cheers,
