EGR Problems

ok so before my long absence i was having problems with my egr flow being insufficient.
after replacing the egr valve i was still getting the code for egr flow insufficient. so i replaced the sensor. still got the code.
well i left it alone because it was causing any problems other than the ugly CEL
well now it time for a new inspection sticker and im stumped on how to fix this.
any ideas?

I havent tried it yet but i was going to this weekend i got a small chimney cleaner to do it with cause its a strong pipe, small, but bendy so if the vacuum solenoid or replacing vacuum lines doesnt work then maybe try that __________________ "Patience is not a virtue.

Yes, especially if one of the egr vacuum lines is cracked or loose.
