Black 98 xlt 5.0 awd
Ok guys, Ive searched and searched and coming to a dead end. My 98 5.0 is throwing codes P0171 P0174 P0420 P0430. I have done several vaccuum leak test, replaced both upper and lower intake gaskets. The truck runs smooth, no hesitation, idles smooth, crisp throttle response, and plenty of power. Any ideas?
 






Have you checked your O2 sensors or the wiring to your O2 sensors?

You don't have a crack in your exhaust manifold do you?
 






Ive checked 02 wiring, all looks good. my Ultragauge says I am getting good signal from my 02's, both bank 1 and 2 while driving. Smoke test says no leaks at manifolds, no cracks, or at least no leaking ones from best i can tell. Even replaced the PCV, might have cussed ford the entire time, but I replaced it
 






I would check all the small plastic vacuum hoses, there's a lot of them especially under the air cleaner and engine. It only takes a micro sized hole to cause the check engine light to come on, don't ask me how I know.
