My thought as well.
To expand on the EGR solenoid thought, also check for vacuum leaks (which turned out to be one of my problems).
There are two barbs on the bottom of the throttle body. The EGR is the smaller of the two. It uses a 90 degree rubber fitting that the hard plastic vacuum line plugs into. From there, the line goes to the EGR solenoid, and then back to the EGR valve. ANY of those lines - or terminations - can cause a vacuum leak. Most of those fittings are at least 35 years old by now, and many have deteriorated.
