It's probably not the EGR valve itself. There is a tube inside the common
chamber (intake manifold) that goes from the EGR valve to the front, near
the throttle and it's probably plugged by carbon deposits.
You can do some cleaning by removing the throttle body and accessing the
tube through the throttle opening. Alternatively, you can remove the intake
manifold and clean everything in sight.
I did this on my 98 Amigo last month. The tube was almost completely
clogged.
There are some photos of this tube here:
