Many codes need help ASAP!!!

I have an early 96 f250 4x4 super cab 7.5 e4od i have these codes i have an idea on some but am clueless on others?
koeo
628 Excessive converter clutch slippage, new converter on the way
556 Fuel pump relay primary circuit
542 Fuel pump circuit open to eca ground
332 Egr not open in self test
koer
311 Thermactor air system not working on bank 1

I had it scanned by a friend! The only issues i know of are of course the stock converter is crap? And rear fuel tank pump doesn't work btw the tank is full. So besides the tranny problem what could be cause the rest of these codes

Oh i had the cruise recall done today and im looking for a steering wheel with horn button with cruise mine got stolen??? Some people!!! Thanks ahead of time for all the help

So should i replace the converter get the egr delete stuff and replace the fuel pump?

Codes 556 and 542 could be caused by a faulty fuel pump (open windings) or an open circuit leading to it. Code 332 indicates the PCM is not sensing the EGR opening. Check the wiring leading to the EVP as well as the EVP sensor itself. I will also add make sure the vacuum line is still attached to the EGR valve.

KOER code 311 could be caused by an inoperative TAB or TAD solenoid. Both of mine have the tubing disconnected so my truck fails with that code as well as a few other thermactor codes during KOER tests.

When was the last time you checked the transmission fluid level or replaced the fluid and filter? Either could be a cause of code 628.

I would fix the EGR system instead of trying to trick the PCM. The fuel pump errors could be a simple wiring issue. Invest in a good service manual to help troubleshoot the circuits.

thanks for the info could the fuel pump codes be cause by the front tank fuel pump not working im not sure but does each tank have its own fuel pump the sending unit works and i filled it up but it just dies when i switch tanks? the tranny is full of fluid and looks good before i cleared the codes it shifted really hard and now it shifts normally?

Each tank has it's own pump as well as sending unit. Code 628 could possibly send the PCM into limp mode which would make the transmission shift hard as well as alter the RPM shift point.

In order to expedite these repairs I suggest a good service manual and code reader or pull the codes yourself: Ford Fuel Injection » How To Run a Self-Test

well i ran the codes again today and got a 332 egr code and a 311 air pump code again i didnt get any other codes and the tranny shifts fine now that the codes are cleared but i got them cleared again today and they came back on my way from home so egr is doing some weird stuff should i just replace it and see what happens or look other places to see what might be causing these to pop up?

Re-read post #3, I had suggested a plan of attack for the EGR codes.

could all of this be somehow linked to the 332 egr code?

Yes it could be if the vacuum lines that go to the EGR and two AIRD solenoids are broke or disconnected from the vacuum tree.

The TAB & TAD solenoids are located on the driver side of the intake manifold


Ryan has a basic description of what they do at the bottom of this page:Ford Fuel Injection.com Actuators

But the FORD Shop manuals does NOT say left or right bank for your truck with a code 311.
Their are two Thermactor air system inoperative codes and one is 311 and the other is 314.
They be right but Ford never says in the manual that 311 is for the right side and 314 is for the left.
See the PDF I posed above.
I though you had two AIRD valves above but after looking again you may have two AIRD/AIRB valves and solenoids.
If you would post your Calibration number off the drivers door I could post a diagram of your system.
