ok whats an ecg valve.......did you mean egr?..........the symptoms are when I go uphill it seems to go up the hill like I am varying the accelerator pedal twice every second producing the surges........steady up hill 35 to 42 or down hill light on the gas produces the slight jerky sensation like I am deliberately going from all slack taken out of drive train to coast side of slack.....well if it is egr I have no clue how to check that....its a digital one

Try a fuel filter. If that don't help, then a fuel pump.
