and while we are talking about fuel the guy who read the code told me this is why it ran lean does it have to do with anything?

this is a DPFE sensor it will turn on a check engine light i had one go out on my 2000 auto zones computer will just give u a genaric code. they will prob tell u it is a loose gas cap. this has to be diognosed by a good scan comp like at the dealer. i do believe it the part costs about $60 from ford and the light went out. but the scan was $75 so save your $75 if u think this is the prob.

ok so yea your right Mike. i was tired. but the shop nearest to my house is retarted when it comes to pipe. They think pipe is worth its weight in gold. my muffler cost me $37 as well. The donkey wanted $30 for two 18" sections of pipe. i got it for only $22.
