Yes, but I wouldn't think it would impact it too much outside of a puttering sound. Buy a Haynes Manual for your specific vehicle and look at the chapter on Emission System. Locate the EGR vavle and press the back of it in. It should push in without much effort. If not, it's probably bad.
If you pass that test, then try cleaning your fuel injectors. If that doesn't work, then change your fuel filter. If that doesn't work, do a tune up, also checking the distributor cap. Change your air filter, too. If none of this helps, then have your Idle Air Control Valve and PCV Valve checked to ensure they're working properly.
If you're also experiencing a dimming of your display lights when turning on the AC, radio, etc., then check your battery and battery terminals first.
