Ok, so I did a little more work with my car and found the EGR tube was packed solid. I got a new one and installed it and that works great. The issue I have now is an operational check of the EGR system. I have also changed all of the vacuum lines, as well as the BPT and EGR solenoid.

With the car fully warmed up, I increase the engine speed to 3500 rpms and hold, the EGR valve opens, holds for about 1-2 seconds, then quickly closes, throttle speed still at 3500 rpms.

Is this the normal operation of the EGR? Or is it supposed to stay open when I maintain higher than 3000 rpms?

At idle the EGR valve never open. The EGR valve will open when the engine is warm and above idle

The EGR valve does not necessarily stay open all the time once out of idle.
