Egr question. What is the right one for my car?

I have been looking into this trouble for a while now and just am getting the itch to drive the car. I do get the code 32 and have changed the controller, Checked for leakes, & changed the egr out with a used one from the same year, & same motor. The thing is still doing the same crap. I start out with a strange idle, that is a little on the slow to go side when I take off (It seems to be missing). Sometimes the car even dies, & most the time I deal with the miss, & the ses light is off; then I give it more then half throtle, & it looses power even more, & the ses light comes on. This is more so when I am on the hwy.

I have posted about this before, & didnt want to do it agian, but when I took the egr out of the parts car I have it was not the exact same. The diff was that the egr that was in my car had a nipple that stuck in to the intake about a half inch or so. The used one I put on the car was inverded. When I look at the part store pictures I see no egr valves that have nipples sticking out. WTF?

The fact that I changed the valve with a used one does not lead me to think its a good working part but yet a shot in the dark, so if I buy a new one then what one do I need to get? I also seen a 2 piece EGR valve on ebay that Must not be the right one eventhough they say in the discription that it is for my car. So thats 3 diff valves that go to my car?

Sorry this is so long but I guess I need to add to this. What is the probability that the code 32 could be something other then the controller, vac leak, or the valve?

The motor was redone before I got the car 4 years ago and I have only put a few miles on it since. It has been like this for as long as I have had it. Do you guys think that the 2 piece egr is in fact the right one, while the rebuild shop put the wrong one on?
