Mine did the same thing about a year ago. I was at work & the mrs was using it.. She pulled out of a car park onto the main Norwich ring road in rush hour.. it juddered & cut out. Started fine then the accelerator did nothing at all bar occasionally making the revs pulse/surge.
RAC came out, got EGR code up, hit the EGR with the handle of a screwdriver (Yes, it worked) & she drove it home.
I took the EGR apart, deep cleaned it & it was fine then onward.
So answer to your question is yes the EGR can have that affect on the pedal & you probably just need to clean it more thoroughly or replace/blank it.
