The fault may possibly still exist, but it is unclear whether you cancelled the trouble code after the repair was done. You need to disconnect the EFI main relay, or the battery itself, for 60 sec to erase the old code.

Easy fix! I've had the same problem/headache and spent the same on parts. Replace your back-pressure sensor (it's easy to do-about $38-at Autozone or others) They can also show you where it is and how to do it. For a 2001 Taurus- part looks like a black box with 2 vacuum hose nipple holes and an electrical connection. It's definitely not your egr valve (costly!) I Should've asked my fleet service at work first rather than after. This repair consist of undoing 2 little vacuum hoses and an electrical connection clip and replace with new part in reverse order-DONE! Autozone will erase the codes with scan tool and your on your way. Ten thousand miles later and still no issues with mine! Good luck!
