I have been unable to get the IRS to assign me a new EFIN.  I incorporated, but nothing else has changed.  Can I use my old EFIN until I am able to get a response from the IRS?

No,

There are times when a new identifier is required. If a company has a change in ownership or structure, it becomes a new legal entity. The IRS requires a firm to obtain a new EIN to distinguish historical activity between the two phases of the business’s life.
