Default Where is the EGR valve sensor?

My check engine light came on in my 94 so I went to AutoZone and they ran the codes. It came up with 327 (EVP or DPFE below minimum voltage)and 332 (Insufficient EGR flow detected). The guy at AutoZone said a new EGR valve sensor should do the trick. I bought the sensor and he told me the original one still on the car will be aluminum even though the new one is plastic. He said it would be a direct replacement and not to worry about it. Well, I've been looking under the hood and can't seem to find anything that looks even close to this thing. Does anyone know where it is? I'm assuming it's attached to the EGR, throttle, or intake, but I can't see it. I've been looking through my manual but haven't had any luck.

Wow, I even looked the part up on Autozone's website and it even says it's for my car. It has a picture and everything. What do you think I should replace to fix the problem according to the codes my ECC gave?

OR = DPFE sensor or incorrect one

Yep, they definetly gave me the wrong one! That's so frustrating. I'm going to have to call them so they can update their system. Thanks for the help.
