If one of the hoses is missing, then your CEL should be lit. 96 Contour SE Duratec V6 24-valve 2.5L ATX 108,000 mi. Replaced: crankshaft w/ DMD, EGR valve (clogged), EVR, DPFE, PCV valve, evap emissions hose & tube (cracked), window regulator (broken), LH & RH PCV tubes, UIM gasket (leak), ignition coil

ANY HELP IS MUCH APPRECIATED............ thanx in advance. I just replaced my DPFE a couple of days ago, 99 CSVT. There are two rubber hoses to it, 2 different diameters. The tubes on the DPFE that they connect to are 2 different diameters to match the hoses. I didn't follow the hoses down, so I don't know where the hoses originate. contours, deloreans & fiats, oh my!
