DPFE sensors can go with in a week or a day like I have had happen to me after it was replaced by a ford dealer. I've blown a DPFE sensor & had the light come on after less then 6 hours after I picked up my car from Concept Ford in Georgetown. they didn't tighten down the screws correctly for the senser & well it went again, needless to say I will not get my car serviced there again.
As For the problem being related to Automatics only, it's not true about the hesitation, I test drove a used 2002 blue Focus Wagon on the Bramview ford's lot took it out for about an hour & I had to push it back onto the lot because it wouldn't start. I got a call later to see if i was still intrested in it or not, & that they fixed the problem, & yes it was the feul filter.
As for fixing it out it's $150.00 for the part, plus labour. Colony Ford charged me $220.00 for the repair on the current focus & the car is still under warentee, no thanks to Concept for forgetting to change over the warentee to my name :angry: .

I was the only member on this board with a Yellow Focus Sedan, and a 2002+ Euro Facelift on a sedan.
