Disconnect the hoses and harness off of the black box on your firewall. Spray throttle body cleaner in all of the ports. Reassemble.

What does that black box do? Arent the EGR ports inside the intake manifold?

Technicly, If The EGR system is causing my hesitation, Shouldn't I be able to disconnect the plug or vacuum lines that control the EGR system and my car shouldnt hesitate anymore?

Yes, that is a very good way to verify that is the problem. Disconect the vacuum line from the EGR valve and see if the running problem goes away.

Then the problem lies elsewhere.
