EGR stands for exhaust gas recirculation valve. it is used as a polution control device to lower the Nox in the burnt fuel. If you are getting soot in the egr valve, you might also be getting soot out of the exhaust pipe and your car is most likely running VERY rich (Rich meaning that you have too much fuel in your fuel air mixture. Lean is when you have too little fuel in the fuel air mixture)

If there is not enough oxygen in the combustionchamber for the amount of fuel (through over allowance of EGR or otherwise) then we get soot paticles forming.

On top of the engine to the right rear of the valve cover is a round plastic unit sort of hat shaped of black plastic with three vacuum hoses coming from it. This is your EGR vacuum modulator.
