I still have the DPFE. The one I replaced was Delphi and I replaced it with a new Motorcraft unit. The EGR solenoid was new Ford. I'm returning the EGR pipe because there's no way to get it on. I do have the DPFE hoses routed correctly, they are different sizes. I replaced them the last time I replaced the DPFE sensor so they still look new. The suggested symptom chart from Ford says that if there was no change in DPFE sensor reading when I pump the valve up with 10in-hg from a vacuum pump that their is a blockage. It said to remove the valve check it and check the manifold passage. I removed the valve, it still is new since I replaced it. I sprayed out the passageway some more with some cleaner. I also scraped out the passageway hole with a pick going all the way in until it bottom out. There was never any chunks of carbon but was some residue. So I reinstalled the valve and cleared the codes but haven't driven it enough to reset. I should know by tomorrow.
