Well, just to update for search puposes:

I picked up the DPFE Sensor - Part No. F77Z*9J460*AB - from Terry at Sentry Lincoln Auto Group - The black plastic case - Installed it today.

Let it idle after plugging battery back in, idle settled down. Drove it around slow and fast - car drove fine.

Let the car idle for about 10 minutes - idled fine.

Shut car off. Turned back on after a few minutes, drove it around again and again...let it idle. No CEL yet.

FWIW - The DPFE Sensor that was originally in the car - The one with the Aluminum Casing - has a Part No. F48E*9J460*BB
The configuration of the Sensor is a tad different - Both vacuum hoses that connect to the New Sensor - are in front. Where as the old sensor - One is in the rear and the other in the front.

Anyway - Will update if CEL comes back.

Later.

I'm chasing this same problem and thanks to the search I know what I need to do...but damn, I stopped by the dealer today for a DPFE (without the part number in hand) and they wanted $107!!!

Where are you guys getting these things and how much are you paying?

Call Terry at Sentry Lincoln auto group
1-508-995-4600
or Bill Jenkins (I forgot his number....search for his name)

Both will give you a discount if you say your from the Contour group.

I hope my father didn't pay that much at the dealer for the DPFE sensor, but we do get a good discount at the dealer we go to since are there so often.....


but not for one car, when you maintain 5 Ford Vehicles....
