2000 Mountaineer 5.0
I have a 2000 Mountaineer with 140k. The CEL has been on for about 4 months. One day as I was getting onto the freeway the truck started to stutter and almost stall when I step on the accelorator. Once I got it up to speed it moves fine but stutters when I have to step on the gas. It only does this when hot (after driving 80 miles or more) Autozone said the CEL was due to a bad EGR Valve. I replaced it (not as easy as it may look) and low and behold the CEL went off, for a few days. The symptoms have also returned. The error code now says it is the EGR sensor. Does this have anything to do with the real problem. I am not in an area that requires emissions testing and can live with the CEL as long as it runs reliably.

Mine had problems idling when my DPFE sensor went, It had an egr code thrown as well, but after replacing the DPFE the other code went away.
