Look closely at the DPFE sensor. Ford extended the warranty to 5 years 50,000 miles on some 2001 and 2002 vehicles on this part. It is a rectangular box that has 2 vacuum lines and a wiring connector on it. Good luck and let us know the results.

What year do you have? The sensor you are describing is the EGR vent solenoid. It releases vacuum to allow the EGR to close. If it is newer than 96, the DPFE is a rectangular box that has 2 rubber lines going to it and a wiring connector that has 3 wires.

Install vacuum pump in the line on top of EGR. And a voltmeter in the signal return wire on the DPFE. With key on, engine off, there should be somewhere around .68v. As yiu slowly increase vacuum it should go up to around 4.5v
