Service engine came on so I replaced the egr valve. Now after a week It is back on and most likely the egr is clogged again what could be causing this?
geo metro had a problem with the egr valve going bad causing the # 3 exhaust valve to burn, which could cause a lack of power in the engine performance. if this exhaust valve was burnt due to a faulty egr valve the new egr valve could have gotten clogged again causing a check engine light to reappear.

What causes a missfire in my 1996 Pontiac gramd am 4-cylinder?
There are many reasons that contributes to engine missfire. Bad gas, faulty spark plugs, faulty plug wires, clogged fuel injectors, clogged fuel filter, dirty/clogged air filter, clogged cathalytic converter and faulty EGR. I would suggest going to Autozone or Advance Auto. They have an OBD system that you can plug under the dash of your car and it will indicate some of the faulty parts that maybe causing the engine missfire.
Could Catalytic converters clogged on 1991 GM Sonoma truck cause it not to stay idled?
Probably not. They would have to be clogged solid not to let engine idle in which case the engine would not run at any speed. If they were semi-clogged the engine would idle but hold engine back from revving up.
Will a clogged catalitic converter cause your engine to missfire?
Depending on the extent of the clog, it could cause the engine to lose power under a load or accelerating and in severe cases the engine may not run above an idle. I don't see it causing any one cylinder to missfire.
