I couldn't even find a listing for 408 anywhere??
The 1996 Ford TSP does not list P0408, so I did a little research on the web...
According to
http://www.obdii.com/codes.html, and a few other sites, P0408 means "Exhaust Gas Recirculation Sensor B Circuit High". Don't know what that means though.
After the new DPFE the car runs better, but I still have the CE light with the damn 401 code, and whatever the hell 408 is.
Did you reset the CEL codes after you replaced the DPFE? I suggest that you reset the CEL, drive it for a while, and see if anything else shows up.
