were is the DPFE
Hi, new to the site, and I have read several of the threads about the DPFE. I have a 2001 F150 4x4 with the 4.6 engine and 77k miles. I have a service eng soon code of 401 and 402. One fix on this site is to replace the DPFE, but I can't find it. My EGR valve has one vac line (green) that goes to the SOL V. and from the SOL V is a (red) vac line that goes to the intake. The SOL V also has an electrical connection . The hood decal of the vac system calls it SOL V (EGR). I bought a DPFE from Ford and it is like everyone describes it 1 elec connection and 2 vac ports. It looks entirely different from the SOL V that my EGR connects to. Does my truck even have a DPFE or did Ford give me the wrong part? Sorry to be so long winded, but more info is better than not enough. Any suggestions?
thanks

A clogged port CANNOT cause cause excessive flow - think about it.
DPFE sensor is the correct diagnosis.
