It's been awhile since I've had to look at my 3.0 to fix anything, but I believe that's where it is.

The bimetal valve will have two, small vac lines going to it and a vent cap.....no electricals.
i do have that temp sensor on the side of the EGR valve. if one of those was to crap out, would that trip the code?
