The DPFE (differential pressure feedback EGR) sensor is faulty and needs to be replaced
There is a blockage in the EGR (tube), most likely carbon buildup
The EGR valve is faulty
The EGR valve may not be opening due to a lack of vaccuum

It is quite common for people to just replace the EGR valve only to have the OBD code return. The EGR valve is not always the culprit.

Use a vacuum pump and pull the EGR valve open while monitoring engine RPM's & DPFE voltage. There should be a noticable difference in RPM's with the EGR open
Clean out the EGR valve and/or tubing to remove deposits
Check the voltage at the DPFE, compare to specified values (refer to a repair manual for your specific model)
Replace the DPFE sensor (with a good quality / OEM one)
Replace the EGR valve

The EGR valve is located in the engine compartment. Its should look this

I am getting check engine codes that read EGR Flow CKT RNG/Perform and Engine Oil Pressure Switch CKT and EGR Closed Position/Perform

Replace what ever the codes say needs replaced,,,start with the ERG,,,Than run the scan again, if that engine oil switch comes up after you replace the ERG than replace it. Always clear the codes after you read them.

Chevy 2002 Malibu ERG valve

Symptoms of a bad EGR valve are usually stumbling idle or the engine stalling when the car is warm (normal operating temperature). Find the EGR valve and locate the vacuum line attached to it. Start the engine cold and wait for it to warm up. When the engine starts to stumble, pull off the vacuum line. If the EGR is bad, the engine idle will stabilize and no longer stumble.

Low egr presure

Low pressure? Insufficient egr flow? How about plugged ports in the intake. What engine? Do you have a vacuum pump?

Erg valve sticking

ERG or EGR valve?. well if you dont mind the check light coming on and the engine to run like **** in the future, you might want to change it, espcially if you live in an emission state, they wont pass you part if failling.

Need location of the erg sensor 2000 ford ranger

The egr valve has two sensors. One is an EGR position sensor which is physically attached to the EGR valve. The other sensor is the DPFE (Delta Pressure Feedback EGR) sensor, commonly called the EGR pressure sensor. It's location varies depending on the engine you have. You can fine this sensor by following the vacuum hose on the EGR valve. It will be with in inches of the EGR valve. The sensor will be black (plastic) or silver (metal), have two or three vacuum ports and an electrical connection on it.

The vacuum pressure sensor is a high failure item on fords. Any Ford parts department will have one in stock, as well as some aftermarket parts stores.

The new sensor may not look exactly the same as the old part, but will have all the hook ups as the old one. You may also need to replace the vacuum hose to the sensor as well

Blocked Passage on ERG System, or Failed ERG Valve, or ERG solenoid Faulty

Very common on Ford engines with EGR codes is the tube inside the intake manifold that takes unburned exhaust gasses and recirculates them back into the engine for reburning,the tube becomes restricted from hydrocarbons and just plugs up.The intake manifold and tube has to be removed and thoroughly cleaned.
