Bought a "new" 2001 F150 Lariat 5.4l. Came with check engine code that indicates "Differential Pressure Feedback Sensor upstream hose off or plugged" problem.

The hoses appear good/unplugged.

Any advice on this issue? I realize I could just replace the sensor, but I don't want to blow $35-$60 before I hear what else may accompany this problem.

Truck seems to operate just fine.

DPFE is a pretty common issue


I believe replacing the sensor is all it takes

 

Yeah, I know it's common.

Well, ordered the sensor; got it for $25 off eBay, instead of $55 at parts store. Installed yesterday. Of course, the hoses were rotted all to hell, so had to replace. Drove today and all is good.

Jim

 

Ah, those dirty, rotten hoes. They'll getcha every time.

 

So will typos!

Jim

 

Probably the hoses would have been the first thing replaced.. obviously.. Good luck!

 

They weren't leaking before I tried to remove them.
