Default EGR valve

First of all, how do I test my egr valve? or better yet, how do I know if it's bad?(my mpg sucks as is about 16.8mpg) and second does anyone know where I can get ahold of a new egr? Everywhere I've looked they're used--and given they 'could' be good, ya can't trust used parts from a private dealer half way across the country lol. and if noone checked my profile, I have a 93 sc400 1UZ with 250xxx miles on it.

Damn, My car idles beautifully (about 500 rpm once warmed up 1-1.2k when cold) I dunno bout stuck but it may just be dirty as all hell since it's got 256XXX miles on it and thanks vinny--cause even if I don't need the egr I still need either a heater core or the valve for it since I got NO heat lol...going into winter here in GA it kinda sucks.
