Greetings,

Does anyone know how to clean the Ford DPFE sensor? After about 40,000 miles it gets clogged w/ carbon and goes bad. I didn't want to spray any solvents in there until I got the blessing from those who KNOW what they're doing!!!

I'd post this in the engines forum and see if anybody says anything.

 

You clean it by replacing it with a new one.

 

I have to agree with Quintin (he's usually right any how). Even if you could remove the carbon, you would never remove enough of it with a spray, you would have to scrape it out. Doing this would scratch the surface, making it collect deposits even faster. There is a problem with SOME modular engines where after 80-100k deposits clog the channel around the throttle body, maybe the information got a little confused along the way.
