I know where it is now and i went to check the hoses, and one was like glued to the sensor and i used a lil force ended up ripping the hose? where can i get a new one? or when buying a new dpfe sensor does it come with the hoses?, and i might as well replace them both while im at it

i'm pretty sure the DPFE sensor just comes with the sensor, but maybe one of the ford techs can make a hosing sugguestion... you also could try taking it down to your local parts store and see if they have some hosing the same diameter. i saw that latemodelrestoration.com is offering the the 3.8 dpfe sensor for 20 something bucks.

It's a high temp silicone hose. They don't come w/ the sensor but depending on how far it ripped, you can either cut if off and use the shortened hose( if there is enough room) or they are avaible at the delaer for around $5-7 each. I would also think that most parts stores should have the silicone hose. Regualr vac hose will work but will fail sooner due to the heat generated through those hoses.

Ill try that site, and then try cutting the hose, it only ripped like 1/2 inch so hopefully it works. i don't wanna go out and spend the 100 for the dpfe the local stealership charges

can't seem to find the sensor on that site, can u point me in the right direction

[00SoSlow]

kickass... thanks so much

[00SoSlow]

just ordered it... hopefully u guys are right about this sensor... im sure hopeing it is

[99mustang232]

the dpfe seems to be a common issue for us and the focus?

[00SoSlow]

u know im hopeing this is the end of my problem... if it works shit im gonna jump for joy and have some beers for me and u, u saved me 70 bucks, next repair the unknown squeek in the front end, and hung up caliper, and squishy brakes

[99mustang232]

tell us more about the unknown squeek? is it the front sway bar bushings?

have you tried flushing the brake fluid and it still is squishy? did you flush starting with the lines farthest from the master cylinder (passenger rear, drivers rear, passenger front, drivers front)?

[00SoSlow]

i haven't gotten to the brakes yet, even tho i should, i don't know how to do it myself personally, and my friend is being a pain in my arse and wont help im trying to get my other buddy to help me.... i might just take it in to get them done

[00SoSlow]

the squeek idk what it is, when im sittin at a light and turn the wheel i hear it and when im driving, turning corners, go over uneven ground, it happens then too... ive been led toward tie rods, tie rod ends, ball joints, just dont know what one it is

[99mustang232]

prob the ball joints, my 99's went out pretty quick, and even more so if you live in apartments with speedbumps..

[00SoSlow]

nope not me, i tend to jack my car up a lot on its side i don't know if that has something to do with it, i have to do this to try to fix the leaks in the exhaust, im getting sick of them... but the good thing is its getting quieter
