The most common reason for insufficient EGR flow is clogged ports in the intake, remove the TB and you will see the intake ports from the EGR valve into elbow. Very common, do a quickie search and somewhere there is a post with pics and everything. If you apply vacuum from secondary source to the valve while engine is idling it should stall or nearly stall. If not then either bad valve or clogged ports. That takes the DPFE and everything out of the diagnosis.
