Probably cheaper from Mister Bill.[/b] Show me a picture of said DPFE. My 97 Helm's manual refers to it as a, and I quote, "EGR Vacuum Regulator Solenoid". Here's a picture of it, and a picture of the box it came in: $17.46 from Ford Parts Online, $22.39 list. This is for a 96 V6 (the pics are from my Zetec, part number for V6 may be different), according for FPO. They'll need a calibration code off your door sticker for some reason. You'll probably do better to get it from a local dealer than from FPO or Bill, due to shipping costs (that's what FPO told me, and they were right).
