2000 Ford Taurus 6 cyl Automatic 140000 miles

My car has been running rough. I took it in for the emissions test and it failed. We have been replacing vacuum hoses and spark plugs and finally found out that it was the egr valve sensor. We have replaced that and now the car will start, but dies only after a couple of seconds. We thought the sensor was bad and bought a new one only to find out the same thing. Before replacing the sensor the car would start and run fine. Now what the heck is going on? Any ideas?

This article supersedes TSB 04-3-1 to update service part information and applications.

Some vehicles may exhibit a malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) "ON" with or without the following symptoms: Rough Running, Lack of Power, Surge or Poor Fuel Economy, along with diagnostic trouble codes (DTC's) P0401, P0402, P1400 or P1401. This may be caused by an intermittently functioning tube-mounted delta pressure feedback EGR (DPFE) sensor
