Bill, I don't have any advice on the valve itself, except to strongly advise you buy the OE part from Nissan. I've tried aftermarket EGR valves on two different vehicles before, and both times, they were "generic" ones that you adapted to your vehicle with washers and orifice restrictors, etc. I replaced the valve with an aftermarket one to get rid of an off-idle hesitation, much like you are experiencing. The problems got worse until I actually bought an OE valve (in this case, it was an AC-Delco valve for an Oldsmobile). I saved $40 by buying an aftermarket one, but more than spent that in time and frustration trying to figure out all the "new problems" caused by that valve -- and figuring out that the valve itself was never going to work right.
