I have a 2001 F 150 with a 4.6 engine, I had a OBD test run on it and the code showed DPFE circuit high voltage. So I bought a new DPFE sensor but when I went to put it on there wasn'one. The bracket was there but not the sensor. There were no lines to hook to the sensor either. What do I do?

There are two types of dpfe sensors, if the bracket is there but nothing else, that means you bought the big sensor but you need the small sensor. The small type is a little black square sensor just to the left of the brake booster and stuck into two hoses that go to the manifold for the egr. Likely you just need to go back and get the correct part
