I've never heard of an HO with an EGR valve, but of course there could be some weird version we've never seen. But unless it's a non-american one, or swapped in, I'd be very surprised. On the Renix, the EGR valve is mounted more or less between the intake and exhaust manifolds. I haven't looked at one for a while, but it's mounted on the intake, with a tube coming up from the exhaust manifold. It is vacuum powered, so there will be vacuum lines to it. There are two varieties, one entirely self-contained, and one with a second vacuum device next to it. the vacuum lines go to an odd-looking little solenoid on the driver's side firewall, fairly far forward, which controls both the EGR and the fuel tank purge.
On the original question, I would suspect, especially if the problem is intermittent, that there is an electrical fault either in a wiring harness, a plug, or one of the injectors.
