If you just cleaned the EGR and replaced it, you can turn off the Check Engine Light (CEL) by disconnecting the negative battery cable for a couple of minutes. The engine may run rough for a few miles until it "re-learns". If the CEL comes back on, take the vehicle to AutoZone for a free scan. If the code still indicates a faulty EGR, it may have to be replaced.

Briggs and stratton engine over idles runs so fast that oil spits out can only be shut off by pulling spark plug wire?
The governor is stuck, causing the engine to over-speed and not return to regular idle speed. You can check the travel of the governor by moving it back and forth with your finger - there is not much travel, but there should be some. Check for debris or accumulated gunk at the lever where it joins the engine and clean it well. Ensure that the engine oil is clean and at normal level. A stuck governor will make the engine over-speed so fast that it can cause the piston rod to break. Good luck.

Your car is dieseling. Air is still entering the engine even though you shut it off. Check the Idle Air Control. There might be some sort of deposits which is not allowing the Idle Air Control to fully close. Remove and check to see if it's clean. If not, you'll have to clean it of the carbon deposits.

Check the governor where it contacts into the engine for freeness. Clean all the sludge around the area and spray a little WD40. Also inspect the linkage for sludge or bends that might be causing the governor to stick open.
