I just got a CEL a week ago and it was registering a problem with the egr which is basically the DPFE sensor failing. I tried to explain it to the local mechanic but I guess he's too retarded because he said there was nothing wrong and just happily took my money for the test and turned off the CEL saying nothing was wrong and that it was just a "hiccup". Well about 5 hours after he turned it off, guess what? It turned back on exactly when it was doing the fluttering (keeping the speed at a constant rate). So at any rate I have an 01 focus and I was thinking about replacing the sensor myself. So has anyone in here attempted to replace it themselves on an 01 focus? This is the one with the DPFE mounted next to the EGR valve. I tried messing with it a little but the hoses connected to the bottom of it seem pretty well connected.
