Replacing your coil packs should get rid of the other EGR related code.

Don't mess with the EGR stuff..0302 code is there because of the coil pack issue.

change the coil on cylinder #2 thats the 1st one on passenger side in the back of the engine. Might as well check the spark on it if it needs changing. Same thing happend to my 98 but it was the 6th cylinder. It was easier to get too.
good luck

your caps key is crazy man, its like random. For your gas mileage, a messed up coil pack could really kill it.

You can use a multi-meter to check the coils. It should read infinite ohms or 1 on your meter.

0201 is related to coils, however most people get a companion code like 0605 (mis-fire cylinder 5)

The blinking engine light means that someting is majorly wrong and you should get it fixed asap. ie. your cat will blow if you keep this up.

Try checking the coils, wiring harnesses to the coils, and the plugs.

As for the EGR issue I cant help you there.

You have nothing to lose right?..After doing so, reset your ecu and see what results you get.
