I have the same thing wring with mine. The auto place told me that the egr valve will make the o2 sensor seem bad, so now im going to change the egr valve and hope the o2 senor is still good.


Wait!Before changing the EGR valve, please look through the "Related Questions" below. The valve might be fine and it's a DPFE sensor, or the valve and secondary air system just need a cleaning.

Don't throw money at replacing something just yet...

How much are the valve and dpfe sensor?

The cost of a valve and a DPFE (Differential Pressure Feedback EGR) sensor can vary depending on the make and model of the vehicle, as well as the retailer. Typically, a DPFE sensor can range from $30 to $100, while a valve, such as an EGR valve, may cost between $50 and $200. It's best to check with automotive parts suppliers or online retailers for the most accurate pricing for specific applications.
