when you do get it cleaned, buy an egr valve gasket with the screen (bluestreak aka standard part # is VG57) big fix for those things

make sure it has a screen the one you get, cuz if it doesn't the same thing is going to happen again

Pull the EGR valve off and clean the tube going towards the back out with a stiff pipe cleaner or engine cleaning brush and the passage going to the intake manifold. U may have to use some carb clean on the brush. When done, vacuum the passages out real good and then reassemble.
