To start off p1506 is idle air control overspeed error. I've had it for bout a month now I have replaced the iac valve and im still getting error turned throttle down it idles and runs fine but it just keeps the cel on and its getting rather annoying. If anyone has the solution it'd be greatly appreciated :exporange

And I have checked and yet to find a vaccum leak anywhere
 






You might have a bad or stuck purge valve in the EVAP system. That will generate a P1506 according to the Ford manual.

Possible causes:

Cracked or punctured intake air tube.
Loose intake air tube at the air cleaner housing or throttle body.
IAC valve or gasket seal.
Intake manifold assembly or gasket seal.
