Its probably worth your time to remove the plastic cover, remove the airbox and visually inspect the vacuum lines for any signs of issues.

Good Point, will see if I can do that this weekend..
Also found an interesting method of 'disabling' EGR operation. Of course you still have to live with the check engine light, or have it coded out, but looks like posters are reporting better MPG and smoother running..
