EGR (exhaust gas recirculation) valve either needs cleaning, is not functioning, or has lost it's power (vacuum or electric) source. I would bet it is stuck open.

Start with a visual inspection. Is everything is hooked up. Next try removal and cleaning. Last is to replace it.

Good hunting and let us know. :)
