its the big bulky thing mounted to the throttle body. its black

I have a 1990 Pontiac sunbird and i was only able to find one, it was behind the exhaust manifold on the block. I myself am having problems finding the other. I hope this helps.
The solenoid is located on the driver's side of the truck just behind the EGR valve. It is held in place by two 8MM screws. There are two small rubber hoses on the bottom that must be removed and there is an electrical connection that must be unplugged. Screw in the two screws to mount the new one, replug in the electrical connection and reinstall the two rubber hoses near the bottom. I replaced mine this morning in about 10 minutes. You can purchase a new solenoid at NAPA for about $31. Good luck.
EGR shouldn't be opening while accelerating. When was the last time you had a tune-up? You know, like Spark-Plugs, Wires, Air Filter, Fuel Filter, Clean Fuel Injectors etc... Sounds like you need a tune-up!
Turn your key on-off-on-off-on and count the blinks from the check engine light... The First number will blink with short pauses between the blinks, then a longer pause, then the second number will blink... All of those Chryslers end with code 55 or if you have no codes you will only have code 55... So if the check engine light blinks 5 times, then a pause, then 5 times; that's code 55 which means, "end of message" or no codes... If it blinked 3 times then a long pause then 1 time, it would be code 31... You can easier check on the internet for the code definitions for a Chrysler... Now if you have codes, then fix them first... If you have no codes or a code that has to do with the EGR valve... Then you may need an EGR position sensor or a new EGR valve... somtimes EGR valves will trigger a MAP sensor code as well... It's not too hard to change it if your pretty handy... I had the same problem with my 1993 minivan with a 3.3 engine and it ended up being the EGR valve after I changed a bunch of other stuff... I went to the junkyard for mine ($20) as a new one is around $160.
I've replaced one before, you don't need to lift the engine, but there is some there is some crazy angles to work with.

Maybe a bad valve

well, oil pumps are power by the engine, when the engine is at idle its at its lowest rpm when you step on the gas the rpms get higher therefore your oil pump works faster delivering oil at a faster rate to keep up. oil pumps got a valve call the pressure relief valve and that valve maintains proper oil pressure at all times. if the valve fails you may experience those kinds of problems. it could also be that the rotors or gears on your pump are worn out beyon manufactures specs. and they not providing proper pressure. another answer to your problem would be low oil level and or faulty sensor.
