Shove a paper clip into the harness of the EGR temp sensor, gets rid of the code.
 It's either caused by: EGR temperature sensor EGR valve EGR modulator EGR solenoid Have to test them all individually to find the cause of the malfunction. -------------------- 2001 Miata LS 5-speed

i got lucky for a few years now, i pulled out the EGR filter and cleaned it, erased the code, and never came back.

EGR gets some gunk inside it too.

I used to have an EGR code too. I ended up fixing it by noticing a hose was disconnected under the hood. I think the previous owner must have taken off one the EGR system hoses.

The way the code triggers is once it's up to temp and hits 55+ mph, if things aren't right it stores the code temporarily. The next time you drive and hit 55+ if the problem still exists it throws the code and triggers the light. The only thing that'll cause the EGR code are the things I mentioned in my first post.
