Default EGR Valve

Hey everyone... Im trying to find out where I can buy an EGR Valve.

Can I only get it at the dealership? cuz ive called so many places and they dont know.
My acceleration is sluggish and seems to me its my EGR valve. I have 134K put on my car.

they're easy enough to come by in my area:

go to your local autozone or checker, etc.

There are some tests you can run on the EGR valve before you replace. Want one of use to scan you the manual? What year are you talking about. Getting any engine codes?

Since the only indication you have so far is that it's sluggish...maybe just needs plugs? (Something simple?)

PCV valve can make the car seem sluggish as well as alot of other things. Don't start replacing parts until you know whats wrong.

When was the last time you did a full tune-up?

last tune up was about a year ago.

spark plugs i changed about 3 months ago. and i changed the IAC as well. all these things helped but still sluggish. its seems like after every part i change it gets better and better.

no check engine light and i took it to several shops and they cant figure it out. Im thinking it has to to with possibly the crankshaft or chamshaft or egr or possibly the fuel pump or fuel injectors.

the fact that when it is about to stall...and i hit the gas and it doesn't or if i put it in neutral then back in drive again...it doesn't stall.

sometimes if i leave it in drive and stop it stalls. another thing is that if i go from 0-10mph and then stop it doesn't stall. but if i go from 0 to 25+mph then to 0 it sometimes stalls.

at first i thought maybe transmission but many told me the light would be on though.
