I just had my EGR valve cleaned and the tube running to the manifold,the check engine light came back on and it is idling a little rough again.I tested the valde by pressing on the diaphram with my finger and it did not kill the engine.Is it still possible it could be a solinoid or one of the hoses going to the EGR are clogged still or should I just get the whole EGR assembly replaced?
The only reason the engine light went off orginally is because the mechanic reset the code.

the mechanic reset the codes ,and run the engine to see if they pop out again,that didn't happen. and now ,chances are that the egr is still dirty.
( may be has never been cleaned!! . I know my people.)

I haven't worked on cars since the 1970's..
But there is also a AIR PUMP that is connected..
..from my experiance..the AIR PUMP can seize up--actually making its BELT--squeal..and then break..
That's about all I can offer.
