1999 Mercury Mountaineer
Hello everyone,
I've got a 99 Mercury Mountaineer that's feeling really sluggish. The CEL is illuminated and I got the following codes: P1150, P1151, P0307, P0308, & P0174.

It has new spark plugs, wireset, distributor but feels like it's lacking power.

Can someone help?
 












Thank you. I had already found that thread but I was hoping that someone would help me with more info.
 






According to the ODB II codes, you have an issue with your upstream O2 sensor(s) not working. You also have a vacuum leak on bank 2, which may be why you're getting misfires on cylinders 7 and 8. Are you sure you didn't crack the insulators on those spark plugs when you installed them? What brand of plugs did you install? Quite a few people have reported problems with Bosch spark plugs. Motorcraft or Autolite seem to work best.
