Ok Guys, I am in need of help. my pro is starts acting up. no codes, in park and in drive the car jumps all over the place. sometimes it dies. but when i unhook the egr it goes to normal. so i got another egr from the junkyard it doesnt bounce as much but it also starts to die and idles at very low rpm. i ohmed both egr and have 22 ohms according to alldata. how can i conclude its the egr? or something else. because the new one cost close to 400 bucks.,.,.

secondly i have code for P0455 for this i replaced the gas cap and it didnt work so i though it might be the purge solenoid and try putting vacuum and it didnt hold so i got another one which is good. but my codes keep coming back. is the only solution to fix will be a smoke test?

any help will be highly appreciated,
