This basically means the EGR valve has been wrongly connected, the hose is partially off or is faulty, also the hoses like to block up with a carbon build up wich will cause the valve to stay partialy open giving you a poor idle

What make, model an year vehicle ? P1403 could mean something different from make to make .
P1403 - DPFE Sensor Hoses Reversed
P1403 Chevrolet - Exhaust Gas Recirculation System Valve 1
P1403 Hyundai - DMTL Valve Circuit
P1403 Volkswagen - EGR System Control Difference
OBD2 fault codes have no cut and dry fix for every car that has it in memory. Here is the general info on the code. This code refers to the EGR valve back pressure sensor called the "DPFE" sensor
P1401 - DPFE Circuit High Input
Symptoms
- Engine Light ON (or Service Engine Soon Warning Light)
Possible causes
DPF EGR circuit open.
VREF short to PWR.
Damaged DPF EGR sensor.
DPFEGR circuit short to PWR.
SIG RTN circuit open.
Damaged PCM.
Possible solution
A DPF EGR PID reading greater than 4.5 volts with the key ON and engine OFF or running indicates a hard fault.
the EGR valve is generally located on the backside of the intake plenum near the throttle body. There will be a metal pipe that goes in between the EGR valve and the exhaust manifold. If you follow that pipe you will run into to rubber looking hoses. the DPFE sensor will be on the other end of those two hose. The hoses are two different diameters as well as the fittings that they attach to. Make sure you have the right hose going to the right fitting.
On 1995 Crown Victoria the EGR valve is located at
the rear of the engine compartment. While the attaching bolts can be
gotten out with a little bit of a problem the egr tube that atteches the
EGR valve to the right exhaust manifold is a pain. It is possible to do
though. Here are the removal and installation instructions. If you are
sure that the EGR valve is the reason for any check engine light then
you can remove the battery cable for about five minutes to reset the
light, but if the light is on for a differant reason then you just got
rid of the code plus any freeze frame data that a shop could have used
to diagnose the problem.

Replace DPFE sensor, reset engine fault codes. The Ford one is a good one and rockauto.com
carries Airtex. Sometimes I hear that this change always need replace EGR valve to delet all codes. Test it.
Insufficient EGRFlow Detected Possible Causes: DPFE sensor signal circuit is shorted to ground DPFE sensor VREF circuit is open between sensor and PCM DPFE sensor downstream hose off or plugged DPFE sensor hoses both off, loose or damaged DPFE sensor hoses connected wrong (reversed) EGR orifice tube is damaged or restricted PCM has failed And what sets the code is…….Engine started, engine running in closed loop under steady cruise conditions, and the PCM detected the DPFE sensor input indicated insufficient EGR gas flow. Run the KOER Self-Test, and if DTC P1408 is present, the fault is currently present. This code sets in 2 Trip(s). The light will stay on until the cause is repaired. A bad EGR valve is only on possible cause. Hope this helps, Dave
The DPFE (Diferential Pressure Sensor)sensor is usually mounted on the engine and is connected to the pipe that runs from the exhaust manifold to the EGR valve with two rubber hoses. When the sensor goes bad, the Check Engine light comes on and typically sets any or all of teh following fault codes: P0171 & P0174 (lean codes), and/or P0401 (insufficient EGR flow). Nine out of ten times, the fault is not a bad EGR valve or a vacuum leak, but a bad DPFE sensor. A replacement costs about $112 at Ford, or about $48 at an aftermarket auto parts store.I hope this helps.
