Ford Freestar, 4.2l, 2005, p0108 and p0402 Codes, won't accelerate properly if throttling too much. Surging and hesitating at idle. Any ideas?

I just installed a new DPFE Unit, which includes the MAP Sensor, so the sensor should be fine. The car starts but you can hear and feel that its not running fine. no dashlights tho, just read the codes with the OBD reader When you put in the Driving gear/putting it under load, it will stall and lack power. It will accelerate if you throttle less than aprox. 20%, if you throttle more it will lack all power.

P0108 - Barometric Pressure/Manifold Absolute Pressure (BARO/MAP) Sensor High Voltage Detected Description: Sensor operating voltage is greater than 5 volts (VREF). As a result it failed above the maximum allowable calibrated parameter. Possible Causes:

  • VREF shorted to VPWR.
  • MAP signal shorted to VPWR.
  • VREF should be less than 6.0 volts. The PID reading is in frequency/volts.
  • Open circuit.
Diagnostic Aids: VREF should be greater than 4.0 volts.
The PID reading is in frequency/volts. Application Key On Engine Off Key On Engine Running Continuous Memory Vehicles with an EGR system module (ESM) GO to DM1 GO to DM1 GO to DM13 All others GO to DM16 GO to DM16 GO to DM22
Circuit problem .Not sensor .

P0401 - Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) Flow Insufficient Detected Description: The EGR system is monitored during steady state driving conditions while the EGR is commanded on. The test fails when the signal from the differential pressure feedback EGR (DPFEGR) sensor indicates that EGR flow is less than the desired minimum. Possible Causes:
  • Vacuum supply.
  • EGR valve stuck closed.
  • EGR valve leaks vacuum.
  • EGR flow path restricted.
  • EGRVR circuit shorted to PWR.
  • VREF open to DPFEGR sensor.
  • DPFEGR sensor downstream hose is off or plugged.
  • EGRVR circuit open to the PCM.
  • VPWR open to EGRVR solenoid.
  • DPFEGR sensor hoses are both off.
  • DPFEGR sensor hoses are reversed.
  • Damaged EGR orifice tube.
  • Damaged EGRVR solenoid.
Diagnostic Aids: Carry out the key on engine running (KOER) self-test and look for DTC P1408 as an indication of a hard fault. If P1408 is not present, look for contamination, restrictions, leaks, and intermittent faults.

Remove you EGR valve and check for blockage inside the intake or EGR orifice tube going back to the exhaust...with EGR valve removed you can try blowing both direction ans see if there is any blockage.

DPFE sensor is an engine component that monitors the amount of emissions that are sent back in the combustion system then communicates with the powertrain control module.

If the DPFE determines not enough air flow (blockage or EGR stuck close) or to much flow (EGR stock open) it will throw a code.

    You did replace EGR valve...sound like you have to much air going into the engine.from the way is running and a p0108 code...

It sounds likely that the diaphram in the egr alve has gone bad and is creating a vaccume leak.

    Amras Sten Kar Jan 16, 2019

    As well it is difficult to check the diaphram since it is a unit where everything is assembeld together. So you dont have acces to the vakuum hose to the diaphram to check it.

  • Tommy Stigall Jan 17, 2019

    Have someone do s vaccume test on the engine.

SOURCE: throttle/Idle/running problem - wants to run too fast, or stall out

RPM's up and down check EGR valve and sensor. EGR valve and sensor control idle. That's why your getting the surging on rpm's and this could be giving out the other codes. If mass flow was bad car will not start and the same for the map sensor. O2 sensor measures gas and air for right mixer. TPS controls 0-60 speed as in throttle respons.

Sounds like you have a vacuum leak, a problem with the wiring, or a bad PCM. Check wiring for pinched, chafed, pierced, or broken wires. Make sure vacuum supply is good, and not collapsing when the vehicle is running. Beyond that, a trip to the dealer may be in order.

2005 ford freestar with 244, 000km hesitates on acceleration and has started to backfire? What might cause this?

Tune-up current? Spark plugs, ignition wires or coils, coil pack can cause misfires. Is the Check Engine or Service Engine soon light on? If so, get it checked out. Most Auto Parts stores will do this for FREE. Good luck/

2004 freestar no reverse /hard staring idle rough and cuts off and back fire

As far as the transmission issue is concerned, it sounds like you may have a clogged filter, and are in need of a fluid, and filter change, but that is best case scenario, worst case is you need some serious transmission work performed. The rough idle, could be due to bad plugs, a faulty MAF-mass air flow-sensor, or TPS-throttle position sensor. I would have a diagnostic ran on the van and see what codes come up.

First clean the throttle intake butterfly with wd40 and a cotton rag and lightly brush wd40 onto the left and right bush(where the plate swivels on) this is the fat black pipe on the right of the engine in front.Are your spark plugs ok,air filter?.Dont forget the fuel filter at the back under the axle(covered with plastic undertray).
