So I finally threw a check engine light today. . its code Po401-Exhaust recirculation flow is insufficient (probably egr valve) Could this cause my car to be running like this?

an egr valve with the pintle stuck or sticking will cause it to stumble. does it or has it died while coming to a stop? sometimes you can try to clean the carbon off, but it usually doesn't last. you gotta get a new one.
