yo, it happens...
If you have a Haynes Manual go thru the pin-point tests; if not, here is some info for you.
332 - Insufficient EGR flow detected; "Atop the EGR valve there is a sensor called the EVP (EGR Valve Position) sensor. It detects movement of the pintle iside the EGR valve. You can apply vacuum to the vacuum barb on the EGR valve and observe through the holes in the casting whether the valve is moving or not. It may just be dirty which requires some careful scrubbing and NO SOLVENTS. Otherwise, if the EGR valve is functioning and moving when vacuum is applied, the EVP sensor is suspect and the electrical connections to it should be checked first. (Computer needs to know the EGR valve position for emissions control)."

Testing; "...Using the Haynes manual's procedures, you should be able to back-probe the EVP line and ascertain whether the EVP voltage is correct. It should be below 0.67V @ zero vacuum on the EGR, slowly increasing with applied vacuum from a hand pump. DO NOT apply more than 10 in-Hg to the valve..."

We have run into many situations where
a code for insufficient flow has been set and the
system is functioning correctly. Then it is time
to check the EGR passages. There is a Ford
Technical Service Bulletin (TSB 96-23-4) that
addresses this for some vehicles. This TSB
includes:
1992-1995 Crown Victoria
1994-1995 Thunderbird
1991-1995 Town Car
1992-1995 Grand Marquis
1994-1995 Cougar
DTC 332, P1407 and P1408 or detonation; "...We have run into many situations where a code for insufficient flow has been set and the system is functioning correctly.

If exercising the EGR valve does not result in a change in rpm, then the passages may be clogged. There are
