DPFE Check Engine Code

My sister owns a 1999 Grand Marquis.
Her car started throwing a CEL. The code was... blah... ok I lost the code, but I think it was P014 - DPFE Upper Hose Blocked or Disconnected. I'm thinking that this is simply the DPFE sensor gone bad, but just wanted to verify that here.
I was able to clear the CEL by resetting the ECU which only worked for about a week, the CEL is now back, but with a rough idle. Sounds pretty typical of a bad DPFE sensor.
What do you guys think?
ALSO... there's a light ticking comming from the rear passenger side of the motor. The ticking is only noticible while the motor is under load, under acceleration... a.k.a giving it gas while it's in gear. I thought maybe "lifter tick" but I always thought lifter tick was constant, not just under acceleration.

The code has a diagnostic routine associated with it that has to
be followed. "Replace DPFEGR sensor" is several steps down the
tree. Replacing this $100+ sensor first without following the initial
steps of the diagnostic tree would be like skipping the first 10 rungs
of a ladder. I had the same code you did on my 2001, the technician followed every step in the routine and the problem did turn out to
be a bad DPFEGR sensor. He replaced it, problem gone. It happens frequently enough that there's a technical service bulletin out on it.
Provided that below. Hope it helps. Mike

ISSUE
Some vehicles may exhibit a Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) "ON" with or without the following symptoms: Rough Running, Lack of Power, Surge or Poor Fuel Economy, along with Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC's) P0401, P0402, P1400 or P1401. This may be caused by an intermittently functioning Tube-Mounted Delta Pressure Feedback EGR (DPFE) Sensor (Figure 1).
ACTION
An improved Tube-Mounted EGR Pressure Sensor Kit (9J460) is being phased in to cover selected vehicle applications. Consult the Part Application Chart below. An instruction sheet is included with this kit.
NOTE AN IMPROVED SENSOR WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR ALL VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH TUBE-MOUNTED DPFE SENSORS IN THE FIRST QUARTER OF 2004.
For vehicles equipped with a Tube-Mounted DPFE Sensor, perform the following diagnostic procedure and repair action. This procedure supersedes the diagnostic procedure in the PC/ED Manual for the issue described above.

SERVICE PROCEDURE
1. Retrieve continuous DTC(s).
2. If P0401, P0402, P1400 or P1401 are present, turn ignition OFF and replace the DPFE sensor.
3. Clear continuous DTC(s).

a ticking sound under load. It's a possibility.

Hey, Thanks for the info. That will help for future reference.
The car has since been fixed for exactly that problem, DPFE Sensor, but I'm sure I'll be referring back to this article.
The "ticking" actually wasn't as bad after it was fixed although it's still there.
:: shrugs ::
Thanks again.

I took the car to AutoZone and they got an error code that indicated a misfire on one of the cylinders. I checked and replaced the spark plugs. The old ones were quite worn. The car has only about 45000 miles on it. Seems odd to see such wear (on all the plugs) with so few miles. I replaced the plugs and have had no problem since.
