Hope you did not use a cheap aftermarket one the fail fairly quickly you want something like a walker auto parts, wells or motorcraft.

[@bradleyyoung4142]

Hello double wide. I had a few different codes.system too lean for Bank 1 and 2 cylinder 1 and 3 had a misfire detected Cadillac system efficiency below threshold bank1 was a another, so I put some new coil packs on new spark plugs, today I change the EGR valve sensor and hose, but when I rev my engineup and still doesn't seem like it's got VA power and I'm wondering if it might be my O2 sensors and never been changed I didn't get no code for that and I'm just wondering what you think about that? Thanks

[@jacobbain2327]

I got a question i got a code po406 and a mechanic told me its the egr pressure feedback sensor so I replace it with a Motorcraft one just like it and the check engine light is still on what cold be the problem?? 2011 ford ranger xlt 2wd 4.0l fl sohc 6cyl

[@Crazyirishfan]

I had this same issue. Auto Zone checked it and suggested the EGR sensor was the problem. I purchased one, cost about $74.00. Once I started removing the old one I noticed the vacuum line had cracked ( Big Hole in the larger hose). I went ahead and changed the EGR sensor piece and replaced the vacuum lines. I would suggest checking the rubbers vacuum lines first, both are about 8 inches and go down from the EGR sensor to 2 metal vacuum lines. Good Luck!

[@doublewide6]

It has stayed off and is still off. It was a successful repair. Thanks for commenting.

[@jamessheridan7501]

I am dealing with this same issue myself with my 2003 F-150. That code you mentioned is P1406 - I took your advice and stopped by Auto Zone as well" and also purchased the part that was in stock (Auto Zone people there were very helpful) I did exactly what you showed in your video here"" ... No more Service Engine Light* Thanks!

[@markfcoble]

Thanks! Replaced mine, all is well. Thank goodness previous owner had new hoses.... replacement was easy because of that. Truck runs more smoothly. 207k miles, 1998 4.6

[@doublewide6]

I believe it is right where the wire connector ties into the back of the control panel. I found pin 1 and 2 had a loose solder joint. I resoldered all of the pins where the connector ties in and it fixed my problem for 2 years, so far. Good Luck

[@mathisbad750]

Just finished watching your video and now that I know where the valve is I'll be able to change it out myself. My 1998 engine looks just like this one. Will update on success. Thank you for the video.

[@PIANOSTYLE100]

Cheryl Dulin I have a 1999 4.6 liter Ford Expedition. What model is yours. Also on my research.. there is a 5 volt reference on some. If that's wrong this system won't work. I found it's made to prevent misfires.

[@jeffkennedy8219]

I appreciate the nature of the video; showing the steps, etc. Granted that I'm mechanically inclined, there are times when an enlightening video makes a positive difference. Thanks!

[@robbyjones7631]

If the engine runs rough at idle, disconnect the vacuum hose to the EGR. If the idle smooths, it's NOT the EGR valve, it's upstream. If you get vacuum to the EGR, it's not the EGR solenoid. It's a regulator sensor or charcoal canister purge valve.

[@guesswhomartin9249]

Thank you for your input. It was very helpful.

[@berniceperry8898]

What do you mean by upstream?

[@timmcgowan27]

I don’t have vacuum to the egr solenoid?

[@smittdog2005]

Some vehicles do nothing by unhooking the EGR hose because the egr doesn't do anything until about 2000 rpms are more put vacuum on the egr at idle if it dies down egr valve is good

[@kenmorgan677]

That was what is wrong with mine too. Ive tried everything and I got on the web and started reading up on the DPFE. So, I went out and unhooked the vacuum line from mine and drove it down the road. It ran great again. Thanks for the video!

[@harvestblades]

Hope you see this, but what did you remove the vacuum.hose(s) from the EGR valve or the DPFE sensor. Dealing with this on my brothers f150.

[@timboslice1979]

I kept replacing both egr and the dpfe, and the check engine light comes back on few months later. I heard it's a common problem with the 4.6l Ford engines.

[@guesswhomartin9249]

I've never had this problem... my Ford Explorer is a 1998, This is the 1st time I'm experiencing this problem.

[@bryanturner8326]

You were talking about the mileage indicator light having an issue with staying on, that was a common issue even with the 1999 models. With that in mind I am sure it is quite possibly an issue with the 1999-2003 models. I had those same cold solder connections soldered back together on my pick-up digital odometer and since then it has worked perfectly. I am also having that same code and I have a new DPFE Sensor ready to go in but with me in a wheelchair a good bit of the time due to a spinal crush injury years back I'm not sure I can get it done by myself. I'm still going to try to get the new sensor installed. I also replaced my EGR Valve; however, when I pulled it off and went to cleaning it out it looked pretty bad so I just replaced it to make sure. What bothers me the most is that if I end up replacing both DPFE sensors, then since I replaced the bad vacuum lines as well, and that same code pops back up then the only other thing left to my knowledge would be those tiny holes from the EGR system on the inside top of the throttle body. I am really hoping I don't have to go down that road of having to pull the throttle body and then somehow clean out those two holes.

[@PIANOSTYLE100]

Bryan Turner good info. Is it fixed now.

[@MC-hs4mf]

@@PIANOSTYLE100it’s a secret

[@johnmazza9432]

If you dpfe sensor came on, could it be that there is carbon buildup either in the vacuum lines or in the egr tube they connect to ? I have a old Ford also and I believe that when the truck gets that old , it is likely to be all gummed up with carbon in the entire egr system. So you need to remove the egr valve, the egr pipe, the vacuum lines, and possibly the intake manifold and clean them out.

[@kcraven8]

This is a great video. It helped me with multiple issues I was having with my vehicle. Thanks so much.

[@sageoliver3255]

Thanks. Got the code and bought the part…will check for squirrel damage also..several chewed vacuum hoses😩

[@anthonyrogers590]

I had the same problem just as well. And it solved the problem. Also though my mileage thing is flashing as well. I noticed you had said you fixed yours by getting where the gauges are. Is there anyway you can make a video to point that out so I can hopefully fix mine? Thank you very much as well for the video!

[@codywallace5068]

My 97 F-150 had the same code but the difference is that i have a 4.2 V6. The DPFE or EGR vavle position sensor as some call it, is located on the left hand side of the throttle body. easiest fix i've ever done to it. now its pulling a H02s21 low circut response. i have a feeling that its just the Oxygen sensor on bank 2 first sensor.

[@VickyGeagan]

usually on fords if you have a p0401 insufficient egr flow and both a p0101 fuel lean bank 1 and p0102 fuel lean bank to according to the ford technical bulletin forget which one it is either a clogged egr port on the throttle body egr valve or a bad delta pressure feedback sensor. In the video the so called egr sensor he pointed to is actually the vacuum controlled egr valve. The other so called sensor is not a sensor it is the egr valve control solenoid which controls the egr vacuum it gets its information from the dpfe sensor via the pcm A bad pcm on the newer fords can cause the digital odometer to flicker as well as a short. A good test of the egr system and valve is to take of the vacuum line from the valve and contact a hand held vacuum pump and with the engine running and apply a vacuum to it this will open the egr valve and cause the engine to sputter and stall which means the egr valve and system is ok.

[@crss45yy]

it is possible to make this whole system blind. Just remove 2 hoses from DPFE and make it blind. Remove hose from EGR valve and connect it to the DPFE to this place where was a smaller hose before.

[@reddbrown399]

I finally took it to Firestone..... the number 23 fuse was missing, which I removed and put it back in the wrong slot. They figured that out. Also, it needed a number 4 coil pack, 7 coil boots, 7 spark plugs. I've actually driving it now and will be getting all if that fixed here soon. Thanks alot for responding. 😉😉😉😉

[@GamingBallz]

Redd Brown what's that fuse pertain to?

[@migueltapia5189]

@@GamingBallz 7 no

[@TheAarowsmith]

You need to clean out both rubber hoses and connections to the EGR metal tube. Carbon builds up especially in the small tube, clean both tubes going to the EGR. Replace rubber hoses going to DPFE sensor. Buy new sensor & install, you should not have check engine light. Last thing EGR valve could be clogged or needs replacement. Use brake cleaner to clean out all hoses and connections, and EGR valve.

[@michaelbuckley2362]

hey there doublewide6....first thanks for posting the video. very helpful and now feel confident i xan change this myself and save a lot of money. Do you have a video on how to take the dash apart and redo the soldering on the odometer? Mine has the same problem and would like to get that fixed myself as well.

[@johnnymcnabb5049]

Same issue and fix on my 2000 expedition. Also the had the same problem with the mileage light you mentioned. Seems to be common issues for ford

[@danielwelsh]

Did you disconnect your battery before plugging the new sensor in?

[@thebull5099]

Do you knw what size that hose that your hand is touching when u get that air tool. It has one open end and other end snaps to that se sensor by the brake booster on the left. I think it's a heater hose and what size is it

[@kevinmckinley9801]

Code is P0401. Just got mine checked.

[@aarondavila8894]

Was your truck shaking while in idle when the light was on? Or while driving at certain speeds? Or was the service light on without side effects to the truck? I'm having same problems but my truck shakes pretty bad. Thanks in advance for your response.

[@Skrimpish]

For me shuddering at idle was a failing coil pack that didn't throw a code. If you have had any coil pack code at all replace the entire set of 8. Otherwise you will be doing the job twice.

[@Lithium023]

Aaron Davila I'm curious if you ever found out what the problem was for sure? cause my explorer is doing the exact same thing.

[@sanchezfs28]

what fixed your issue?

[@davidtriboski831]

a p0402 code popped up on my 01 f150, which is EGR flow excessive detected. i have two questions doublewide6. 1? can this make your truck stall out as you are driving? this happened to me today and im making sure that this is the only problem i might have. 2? if i do what you did in the video then this problem should be fixed? ive never messed with the egr valve before. Great video though!

[@nategalindojr7249]

Hello, what did you end up doing to fix the stall issue?

[@berniceperry8898]

Intake manifold vacuum leak will make it stall...

[@lbboti5550]

Hi . Can you remember what fail cod was ? FO488 ? Maybe? i changed the EGR valve but the engine light came back after i started the car 5 or 6 times !

[@christianboyd2124]

I replaced DpFE Sensor and the engine light is still on. What else did you do besides replacing it?

[@guesswhomartin9249]

I'm hoping I'm wrong. But hows your car running ? No power ? Doesn't climb hills ? It could be The Catylic Converter. Lets hope I'm wrong.

[@chriss4365]

Did the light ever come back on?

[@rogeliotorres6002]

I have a question if this sensor has been changed to a new one and if the light keeps coming on what can I do to fix it???

[@hankbridges5055]

Check for vacuum at 1000 RPM'S. There should be vacuum. There shouldn't be vacuum at idle. Get a Action CP9680 code tester. It checks LIVE, record, graphing, emissions readiness test, oxygen sensor tests, transmission codes, ABS, SRS, and MORE! It comes in a black pouch. Get 4 aaa batteries, not included, for under the rear cover. It retains the memory of test results. Get a USB cable to update it. EBAY has it.

[@ironmmx]

thank you brother, very helpful fixed it! p1405 gone thanks

[@dtown072001]

I was wondering if you could do a video on them vacuum lines? I bought a 99 f150 with the 5.4 the previous owner Had the motor replaced and they didn't put lines back on right. I'm not getting vacuum to the 4x4 and I have the p0401 code

[@ihatekate0850]

You can't reverse vacuum lines on the DPFE, they're different sizes. I'm not sure about your 4x4 problem though. Generally with vacuum lines you can get em by eye like routing spark plug wires, they shouldn't have a lot of tension in them, but not a huge amount of slack either, just gotta use your best judgement

[@juanrivera4584]

Your truck started to fail, what problems did your engine start to fail or did you change it because only the engine light came on

In 1:30 - 1:35 you mentioned the truck has 2 of these DPFE sensors, Yet, you only replaced 1. So where the other ?

[@J1SMOKES]

Do u have a video on the mileage gauge ?

[@bradleyyoung4142]

So I got a couple codes system too lean bank 1 &Bank 2, misfire cylinder 1 3 detected and Cadillac system efficiency below threshold, bank 1 so I first started out changing the spark, and coil packs, today I change the EGR valve sensorlook like somebody superglued the hose onto the plastic piece that was broken, but it seems like I still don't have the v8 power, if I rev my engine up it definitely sounds a lot better than it didbut there is a time when it acts like it doesn't want to wrap up all the way and I'm starting to lean toward my O2 sensors, anyone else ever dealt with this?

[@rtoews9396]

I’ve also got the system lean codes. I’ve replaced spark plugs and wires, pcv valve, idle air control valve, MAF, and the upstream exhaust O2 sensors. The lean codes keep popping up. The O2 sensors aren’t terribly difficult to replace but they may be rusted on pretty bad, just keep blasting them with penetrating oil and you can muscle them out. There’s not much room to get a wrench in but I didn’t have to remove anything to get them out. I snipped the wire on the old sensors so I could get a wrench around them.

Do u need a glue or something to prevent the EGR hose go off again cuz It happens to me I put the hose back in then few days later the light came on again cuz the hose was unplugged again Please let me know if I need a glue

[@tm171717]

Omar A Avila You do not need glue. If the hose won't stay it has probably been stretch and lost some elasticity because of wear. Replace the hose or I suppose you could put a very small clamp on it. Glue would clog the sensor. If you put a clamp on don't crush the housing.
