My service engine light came on. I took to autozone and they did their diagnostics and it said that The ECM has detected the EGR position sensor voltage was too high. Probable cause Falied EGR position sensor or Open or short circuit condition or failed EGR valve or failed EGR pressure sensor where applicable. How long can I drive with it doing this? Where is the EGR valve located? The parts store lists two different valves, how do I know which one I need?

I think your information is incorrect.
1. Throttle Position Sensor
2. Egr Valve
3. Manifold Apsolute Pressure sensor.
The egr valve mounts on the intake manifold and routes exhaust gasses to the engine from the exhaust system to lower the combustion temperature and reduce emmissions of NOx.
I think you should have your engine computer reset and see how it runs. If no good scan it again and ask again. ok
