An egr (exhaust gas recirculation) is a device that that lets a small amount of exhaust enter the intake manifold during highway speeds. It does not function while city driving (under 45mph). If the valve is stuck in open, the engine would not idle well. You'll find it close to the carb, in the middle of the intake. It will have a vacuum line on top.
Hope this helps
