I've got a 2003 Ford Escape V6, its runs,but not great,has very low Rpm on crank,and is missing. I have replaced the MAF, TPS,and the IAC so far. The original Codes that I pulled off the vehicle are as follows
P0457.....P0402&401.....P2197&2195.....P0455....P0 430. I am leaning towards the O2 sensors next,but just really hate just throwing parts at it. Any help would be appreciated with this project.
Not sure if you looked up the codes before repalcing parts, but MAF,TPS and IAC were (obvious to see now) not the cause of the CEL.
Could be O2 or could be CatCon (probably not).
455 & 457 are probably a bad gas cap, so should be easy.
401 - Low EGR flow
402 - High EGR flow
430 - Bank 2 catcon
2195 - Bank 1, sensor 1
2197 - Bank 2, sensor 1
I would start by chekcing wiring for breaks/chewed by rodents. Then from there O2 might be the best bet. I agree about just throwing parts at it though, it can get expensice with no results.

Sorry for the Late reply and i appreciate your quick reply. I was asked to fix this vehicle after the other parts where replaced. The car belongs to my mother and i hadn't had a chance to mess with it. I pulled the codes once i started messing with it, seems like the individual that was messing with it before just started at the air box and moved inward. Is there any way of knowing for sure that the O2 sensors are the issue? Can i unplug them and notice any difference in how the vehicle runs? I know on some parts you can do that.
I honestly couldn't tell you what unplugging them would do. Could make it run rich which is bad for the cat-convertors. Having a way to monitor them would be the easiest thing. A wireless OBD2 reader and Torque (Lite) app on your phone will do this and a lot more.
