Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums General Troubleshooting DPFE

What is a DPFE, and where is it and the EGR solenoid located on the 95 V6? Thanks for the help.

I have a 96 Contour SE (V6), so I believe that our cars should be the same.

DPFE=Differential Pressure Feedback EGR
EGR=Exhaust Gas Recirculation
EVR=EGR Voltage Regulator=EGR solenoid

They are all emissions related and used to recirculate exhaust back into your engine to be burned up.

All of the directions below assume that you are in front of the car facing the rear of the car.

The EVR is just to the right of the ignition coil. It is black in color on my car and has something that looks like a bottle cap on top. It is attached by two screws to the upper intake manifold.

The EGR is just behind the air intake tube (it is silver in color on my car). One side attaches to the upper intake manifold, the other side attaches to a metal pipe that runs to the back firewall.

The DPFE is below the EGR and attached to the engine. It is hard to see, but it is box shaped.

Hope this helps.

A little longer explaination on the DPFE/EGR locations and description:

It's a silver rectangular box (about 2"H by 3"W by 3/4"D) that mounts to the rear of the right bank (driver's side, on the head closest to the firewall). It has two rubber hoses that go to the left side of the bottom and an electrical connector on the driver's side of the box.

The EGR attaches to the manifold at the right of the throttle body. It has a silver "hat" on the top that is a vacuum diaphram inside it with one vacuum line off of the top.
