Found the Problem

From what I've read through posts here, a new EGR valve might solve the problem.

Placing a restrictor (not a total block-off) plate between the EGR and the plenum, then reconnecting the vaccum line might solve it too.

I guess you could just disconnect the light, but that might not be a good thing.
