99 5.0 Cel

I need some help here! I have a 99 exp 5.0 AWD with 70K and I'm getting a CEL. Had Auto Zone check it out and the code said it was the EGR valve. I replaced that and within a day the CEL came back. Rechecked and it was the same thing. (if I remember correct it was code 409, but i could be wrong) I also checked the AIR pipe to make sure it was clear and it was. If i clear the code it just comes back. Any suggestions??? Not sure if this is related or not but it runs rough between 30-35mph. I have had more problems with this lemon than you can imagine!! This one has me stumped. Dont really want to fork out the cash to the dealer if I dont have to.

Never owning an explorer again! (looking at Excursions!!)

Thanks to anyone who has any suggestions

You should have either an EGR valve position sensor or an EGR flow sensor. Could be one of those sensors or the wiring or connector to it.
