My mechanic tells me that to get my 2002 Mercury Sable V6 to run propoerly, I have to replace my non-working a/c compressor in order to get my DPFE sensor to operate properly. Really? What does a non-working a/c comporessor have to do with the operation of the DPFE sensor? The a/c hasn't worked for months and hasn't been turned on. I took it in with 'check engine light' and stalling, stumbling. The code called for a new DPFE valve and he tells me the a/c compressor has to be replaced too? AT $1,200! Am I crazy or does this sound right?

the EGR valve is generally located on the backside of the intake plenum near the throttle body. There will be a metal pipe that goes in between the EGR valve and the exhaust manifold. If you follow that pipe you will run into to rubber looking hoses. the DPFE sensor will be on the other end of those two hose. The hoses are two different diameters as well as the fittings that they attach to. Make sure you have the right hose going to the right fitting.
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.
The DPFE is located near the EGRvalve, it has 2 very thick silicone rubber hoses connected to it that come off the exhaust. It is rectangular and about 1/2 the size of a pack of smokes
