Yeah, the EGR is easy. I was told by a mechanic at Toyota that the only time the temp sensor goes out (om a 6cyl) is when it starts leaking. Otherwise it is usually good for quite a while.
It seems odd that they quoted you to replace the EGR gasket and the temp sensor tube. Is this on a 4cyl or 6cyl? I pretty sure that the temp sensor screws into the back of the block on the 6cyl. I looked at having mine replaced because I got a lean code and one of the problems it mentioned was the temp sensor.
You need to find out what the code is. Something doesn't seem quite right.
