DPFE sensor

I am getting a P0401 code on my 1999 Ranger 3.0. Based on what I have read in the postings on the subject, I am willing to gamble and replace the DPFE sensor. Can anyone tell me where this sensor is located? I have ordered a manual but have not yet received it. Thanks! Joe

It's mounted on the upper intake. It's rectangular, has a 3 wire electrical connector, and 2 rubber hoses going to it. If yours is the original, it will be made out of aluminum, the newer ones are made out of black plastic.

Thumbs up Followup on DPFE replacement

I replaced the sensor (took about 5 minutes) with a part from Advance Auto Parts (approximately $53), cleared the code, and the check engine light has stayed off. Advance calls the part an EGR position sensor. Thanks again.
