Oh interesting. EGR valves don't fail terribly often on these cars. Well, if the EGR valve fixed it then I would recommend driving for a week or so and see if the CEL goes away. If not, the DPFE sensor I think is around $80 +/- from the Ford dealer and measures the pressure difference on both sides of the EGR valve. They break a LOT, but if yours is good then if the EGR valve fixed it, the CEL should go away after several driving cycles.
