I never read your first post, what year is your stang? What does the code say in your manual/book. The purge controls are part of the Evaporative emissions system and have nothing to do with the EGR system, so maybe i'm missing something.
Unfortunately if it is an evaporative emissions problem, the only way to diagnose is by getting the resistance specs for the components and measuring, by jumpering the correct terminals and seeing if solenoids activate or by using a "smoke" machine and seeing if there's leaks or if activating a solenoid will make the smoke travel through the solenoid.
