Alright EGR does not cause a fluctuation in idle it is only operational at mid throttle so if you are on the throttle all the time then it should not throw a code or if you are costing it should not throw a code. I know i have this code it doesn't bother me and i could fix it but am to lazy. Do you have any other codes? Your fluctuaion could be a vacume hose connected wrong or something that kinda sounds more like it.
later
