ohoooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!! Thanks crazymachanic. Where in the car is it located?

the Dpfe is a real good candidate for your CEL, but until you GO GET YOUR CODE READ that's all it is... a candidate...

You won't be able to look at your DPFE and know if it is bad or not... my suggestion is go get the codes read... post them in this topic... and probably dozens of people will be able to tell you what the code is for, and what is the likeliest correction for your problem.

Until you do that, you (and the rest of us) are just guessing

 

[SuperFlea]

yup! you're right!

 

[goode2222]

okay, so listen to this. i went and started my car today.....no more cel... should i still get the code read or what you think?

 

[SuperFlea]

Maybe you should but i don't think anything will come up since the light is off.

 

[gump1114]

i wouold probably reset the computer anyways and then drive around to see if i could get the light to come back on.

 

[Lew Skoko]

I had my light come on many time for over filling the gas tank, it caused an electrical short Ford said, I said a short in my gas tank, ***** me! Once it was for gas cap not on tight. Since no light now, then no idea of what the problem was, but next time go straight to Autozone or another car parts store and they will scan you for free.

 

[SuperFlea]

Is there any way that we can buy the thingy to read the codes our selves? if so,where can i buy it?

 

[Peregrine]

cel

I didn't say that his CEL light problem was directly caused by your DPFE sensor. It WAS just a guess-timation based on the year of his car. I bet that this problem falls in the top five causes for that light to come on. So give me a break.

Anyhoo, if you have a zetec engine, you have to remove your intake tube. There is a large UFO looking thing that is your EGR valve. Follow the EGR tube back to the firewall about six inches and you will see a little black box with TWO tubes running into the underside of it. That is your DPFE sensor. [paranoid]

 

[SuperFlea]

OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! thanks!

 

[SuperFlea]

oh, wait! What about the thingy to read the codes? where could i get one?

 

[gump1114]

you should be able to pick one of those up at most autoparts stores.

 

[SuperFlea]

Cool thanks! I wonder if htye are easy to use?
