EGR Excessive Flow

So I am new to these forums. To start it off I have a 2002 Ford Ranger EDGE 4.0 v6 4x4. Recently my check engine light came on. I took it to the mechanic and it was the EGR Excessive Flow. After this is fixed will my gas millage increase because I do not get that great gas millage.

Hi all,

I had the same problem with my 2000 Ranger, but the light later went off. If it doesnt come back on, should i just keep driving it? Or could it possibly do damage?
thanks.

The DPFE is really easy to change, only 40 bucks at advance and then take advantage of the 1 year replacement. Mine has gone out the last 3 years each spring, I buy one, then the next year get that one free haha
