How can i turn off the automatic door locks on my 02 dodge ram ?
I agree with gearbox1 and JASON D. I would like to add that to verify the EGR is working, you install a handheld vacuum pump to supply your own vacuum to the EGR valve while the engine is idling. If engine idle becomes rough when you apply vacuum, the EGR valve is working. DPFE sensor failure is very common on all Ford products.

This sensor tests your egr system for proper operation by accessing a port in front & behind the egr valve & sends voltage to the pcm which determines if the system is operational or not.Neways, just replace this sensor (it is called a DPFE sensor or egr boost sensor). they get high amounts of condensation from the exhast & actually corode on the inside. very common prob on fords.
