It is always recommended that the valve and sensor be replaced together. When I replaced my EGR system this is what I did. My guess would be each selenoid and valve are calibrated together as a unit, however I do not know this for certain since I have never used an old selenoid with a new valve or vice versa. Typically you know the selenoid is shot when the engine light comes on but the car seems to operate just fine. You know the valve is shot when the car starts to idle like crap, which means the valve is sticking open at idle speed, which means some sort of mechanical failure within the valve itself. Sometimes taking the valve off and cleaning it works rather than replacing the whole setup. Hope this helps good luck!
