Default strange engine problem

My engine (4.3 vortec cfi "W" code) Makes a horrible smell out of the tailpipe, and idles irradically. The check engine light comes on and goes off spurratically as well. I have already replaced the fuel injector unit, and my first guess is the EGR valve. Any thoughts?
