Can somebody please tell me what this part is? It's mounted between the throttle body and power steering reservoir. 2002 F150 4.6L.

Replacing spark plugs, and a slip of the hand broke both hose connectors off of it. TIA.

 

Okay, it appears to be a 9J460 - EGR Pressure Feedback Sensor. Local dealer has it in stock, but I can't get it until tomorrow. So next question is, will there be any long term negative effects from driving without this part temporarily? How about short term?

 

I'm not a mechanic, but since nobody has answered yet, i'll give my 2 cents worth
I would think you'd have drivability issues. Just leave it parked till tomorrow.
there are 2 vacuum hoses going to it, not?..besides electrical connector...
Just googled it...there is 2 hoses

 

You will have drivability issues and a CEL, but you can drive it till tomorrow. Make sure you don't cross the 2 vacuum hoses when you replace it.

 

Thanks, I was able to make it to the dealer in my girlfriend's car before the parts counter closed. $116 later, and the truck runs fine.

 

Strange, that doesn't look like the the 02 DPFE. Looks like the 01 or 03. The 02's were more compact. Oh well, I've seen stranger.

 

It's interesting that you say that. Fordparts.com shows a smaller part, and when I went to Ford and gave them my VIN, the guy came out with the smaller one. It wasn't until I showed him the broken part (I brought it with me) that he was able to get the correct one. And of course it was twice as much $$ lol.

And yes, my truck is def a 2002.

$68 !!!

 

I know I could have found it cheaper, but I needed it right away so I figured Ford was the place to go.
