Have you checked the egr vacuum control solenoid? Does it click when you give it power and ground?

go straight to cleaning out EGR passages and valve. That should take care of the problem.

Not very likely on a 94, they dont test for egr flow. The only thing it looks at is the valve lift sensor.

It's on the left shock tower. The valve lift sensor is built into the egr valve.
