What would happen if I don't change the EGR valve?

my max is finally fixed (or so the shop says), turned out to be some ignition coil. The ECu runs change the KS sensor and EGR valve coes, i'm going to change the KS, what would there be any negative results if I don't change the EGR? Thanks.

P.S. Anyway EGR or KS can cause electrical problems? (eating battery every couple days)

You won't pass state inspections with a MIL or emission tests with a non working EGR valve. Believe me I've failed twice because of a EGR valve .

NO! Check your alternator.
