EGR and Emmissions Issues

EGR and Emmissions Issues
2000 Honda Accord - 4cl - LX
Ok, so a couple weeks ago, my check engine light comes on and I get codes ran - car was dying when I slowed down / applying clutch / brakes - basically crapped out at idle. Sputters and dies.
p0300-304 - Misfire Detected in Cylinder
&
p1491 - Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) Valve Insufficient Lift
I replace the plugs, knowing there was most likely a bigger issue. No good. Did some research and everything pointed to EGR valve - popped the hood - EGR was unplugged by last owner! Plugged it in and car runs good for a day and starts the same issues again - I alternate plugging and unplugging EGR for a few days - same thing - runs good for a day and then back to the same thing.
So, I replace the EGR valve today - brand new - runs great, engine light goes away - 2 hours later, same deal!!!
Before I replace anything else, I would like to get some advice - thanks.
