EGR Valve Pressure Sensor

[2001Redge]

The check engine light is illuminated on my 2001 Ranger (4.0L SOHC V6). Autozone read the code and says it is the EGR Valve Pressure Sensor. Can someone tell me where this is located on my vehicle? It looks like a pretty easy part to replace if I can find it. There is something that looks like it just above the left side cylinder bank camshaft cover but I am not sure it is the EGR pressure sensor. Thanks.

Have a look at #6 post here: https://www.explorerforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=311141

The 3 EGR parts are labeled
DPFE(differential pressure feedback) sensor is the pressure sensor

Couple of things, there is no "left" and "right" on a car, lol, it confuses me, driver's side or passenger's side, assuming you aren't in England, Japan or Australia

And auto parts guys know less about engine codes than men know about women.......
Better to post the code here or look it up yourself.
It could be your DPFE sensors is bad or a hose is cracked or broken, even a broken clock is right twice a day.

OBD codes are in computer-ese, code numbers that are NOT listed can be more important than the number that does come up.
i.e. a Lean or Rich code doesn't mean the engine is running lean or rich.............go figure, lol.
But it does mean something.

So the mention of a sensor or part in a Code definition usually means the sensor or part is working, or problem wouldn't be noticed.
