Default new egr backfires

the engine light wason my 99 grand caravan 3.3(200K) so my mechanic said that the egr is the problem so he replace the egr put new plugs, wire, fuel n air filter.now the problem is below 100kph if i press the gas the engine backfires sometimes its not .i brought it back many times but he cant fix the problem.is it posible that he install a defective egr valve because when i bring the car to him only the engine light is the problem?
