Hello. What is this part, where does it go, and what is it's functionality? Google has failed to turn up anything.
The 'closest' thing that shows up, is something about a DPFEE? sensor. And the images don't line up.
The reason it doesn't line up with other pics, is because like mine, on certain years they changed it.
What year is this again? 03?
The year is 2001. Zetec engine as well (same as the video below)
Ah, okay. After another quickie Google search: I see what you're referring to.
But again: Another minor issue that needs to be addressed (and may explain the melting failure in the first place).
From what I read about the DPFE sensor: It shouldn't cause too much of a ruckus with, or without it. I haven't replaced the sensor, found any rubber hose for it to attach to, or anything else of the sort. I figure at best: I'm losing some potential gas mileage, and possibly destroying the catalytic converter a little faster than normal.
Thanks for the link (it's where I got the image from, from earlier).
