Should I just start disconnecting hoses until I can get to it? Also what can I get to the bolts with? A driver, ratchet, wrench? Also I was wondering if that part at Autozone (EGR Valve pressure sensor) which I was thinking was the DPFE sensor, is actually the part. $53.99 for the part at autozone. Anyone got a price from a dealership? Is the $53.99 a good deal?



Well, we've save you some cash already. You don't have to get an EGR valve.

I don't remember a DPFE being that expensive at the dealer where I got mine, but my memory isn't what it used to be... As I recall, I spent under $40. It is possible I got a super-duper dealer deal because I buy fleet vehicles, so if your price is higher, don't worry too much about it. You still gotta have a running car & $60 is not too much to pay for that.

You should only need to pull out the IAC hose to make access adequate. A 1/4 inch drive rachet with an 8mm or 10mm (memory thing again) socket & a 3" extension should be enough to get at the bolts just fine. Pull the old part out, take it to AutoZone & compare (Assuming you have a buddy or a sweetie that will give you a ride).

The mounting points, tubing nipples, and electrical connection should all be identical, but the configuration of those items may be a LITTLE different.

Good luck.

Must be that jumbly-wumbly thing happening again.
