'96 E250 studders

96 E250 has a lot of miles. At 317,000 but the engine was replaced at some point. It's the 5.8L engine. Just drove it across the US straight. Got a slight studder problem when low rpm or at idle. Got codes at advance auto they didn't give me numbers just descriptions:
o2 sensor bank 1 sensor 1
pw sensor bank 2 sensor 2
EGR flo insufficient
DPFE monitor low voltage

Thought I could clean out egr valve but it turns out I don't have 1. At least I don't see it. Manual says up to 96 I should have 1 and 97 or later has dpfe. I see the dpfe so maybe it's 97(the sticker on door says 96)

Question: What do I do with DPFE monitor? Do I just replace it? Can I just clean it? Any ideas for a rookie with a comp and a manual?

You would need to replace it but replacing it will not solve your shudder problem.

figured out the problem. Relaced the dpfe and say the ref line was clogged. cleaned the 3 in rubber hose from the metal line to the dpfe and then got called to work so I couldn't take the rest off to clean. I'm pretty sure that lack of air in reference line is making comuter put extra air into the engine making a lean mixture.

Any tips or ideas on cleaning out the line. Any tricks to doing it without taking it off the exhaust manifold?
