please verify on the egr system cleaning: the intake manifold was removed from the engine and placed on your workbench
While using a few cans of carb cleaner to loosen crud, A wire coat hanger was poked thru the internal passage the length of the manifold, including the 2 holes under egr valve all the way to opposite end of manifold
plus the single port feeding the manifold?

Seafoam has no way to reach the egr system except slight amount thru exhaust
How did you seafoam , where= gas tank or master vac port (not some other vac port) and amounts = half can?
