Check the vacuum line on the map sensor for dry rot or other damage. If vacuum line on map sensor is in good condition the map sensor itself may be faulty and need replaced. The car will run with either a faulty map sensor or vacuum line. It would just run badly or stall. It might throw a code but not all the time. Also could be an ignition system problem or spark plugs needing replaced or the oxygen sensor may be faulty.

First try checking to make sure all hoses to the EGR Valve are connected and in good shape. If they are then it could be the EGR Valve in itself. Go to an Autozone or Advanced Auto Parts and have them hook it up to the computer to get the proper codes for what is wrong. Check the hoses before anything. Hope that helps.
