Answer
Yes, you can check that solenoid manually. Use two jumper wires, connect battery + to the terminal for the RED wire; connect battery - to the other terminal. Do this quickly and see if air will pass thru the solenoid, do not hold the power on too long, this part is not designed to be continually on.

Do you have a check engine light on or codes to go by? Why are you thinking the egr doesn't work? The egr valve and it's controls only work in the right operating conditions. Simply revving the motor may not operate the egr.
