Default My car will not start! I think its EGR related

Hey guys, I just installed my 75mm plenum today, and my car wont idle after start. It goes up to about 3k when it starts, comes back down like it should, but then goes to zero and dies. Ive triple checked my connections, and the only thing wrong is the EGR thing on the right side of the plenum. The stock bolts to hold it in place are too long to thread into the aftermarket plenum, so theres a gap. does anyone know If this is why my car isnt running? like too much air at idle? The check engine light turned on the second i started it. Ive tried starting it several times with no sucess. Is the EGR the cause of my problem?

please dont say "maybe"
