Default 91 dodge shadow dies out

So i've got a 91 shadow 2.5l turbo and it likes to die out at seemingly random times, as in it wont have any issues one day and the next itll die a dozen times, starting to get anoying haha.

Anyways, I looked at the codes and I'm getting codes 32 (egr system failure) and 54 (no cam signal at pcm). I'm not a hundred percent sure, but through a half hour of googling I think the stalling would be caused by the camshaft position sensor. I'm by no means a mechanic, I know basics but that's about it. I'm bassically looking for anyone that can give me advice as to what I should do to fix this, and where is the cmp sensor on my car?

btw, I'm a student so going to a garage is out of the question.

You really need a Chilton manual to fix it right. I've never had the pleasure of replacing the cam sensor, but Chilton will have a good explanation of the process and location. If the EGR is bad, it will hiss or have a "whooshing" noise when you accelerate and the engine will stumble and stall all the time due to the loss of vacuum. I have had the "no signal from cam sensor" code on other vehicles, and it was as simple as pulling the sensor and cleaning it because it has gunk built up on it.
