what is EGR?
My check engine lights when on and so did the traction off. I pulled the code (67) and it's the EGR. What is that and how do i fix it.

Exhaust gas recirculation, just run a search and you'll find plenty of info on it.

usually the valve is all stopped up with carbon or the lines connected to it. Just clean it up and it'll proly go away.

Rex is right, but remember...pulling a code does not always mean 1 particular thing is wrong. You're getting an EGR code and that could be due to one or more of at least 6 different things.
