Help needed from an experienced driveablity tech!
I will make this as breif as possible.
I am working on a buddies 2001 F150 XL 4.2 V6 with a manual trans. and 63k
I have mel light
The A/c does not work, The truck bucks and runs like crap. It feels like it has a miss at an idle (Feels like a vacuum leak)
I hook up my scanner (update to 2000) using generic OBDII. KOEO the code says IMRC is stuck closed.
I entered in a model year 2000 for the VIN (remember this is a 2001) hoping it will work. I start the truck and I get several codes.
All 4 HO2 sensors fail
PNP ckt fails
Camshaft censor ckt fails
every evap code imagineable
WOT A/C ckt fails
Are the 2000 the same as 2001 models?
It will take forever for me to check every item. Could there possibly be an easy fix? (Yeah right)
Other than that the truck is great!
Thanks!

It's more than likely a vaccum leak. Check behind the battery box, also in the passenger side fender well (remove the cover). I had the same IMRC code, and spent alot of time and money fixing, and it wasn't the problem, it was just a vaccum leak.

UPDATE:
I found some burnt wires on the exhaust. They all go to the transmission and rear HO2 sensors. I repaired the wires. I cleared the codes. same problem.
I will take your advise. Wish me luck!

Disconnecting the battery did not help. I have not had the time to look for a vacuum leak. I wish I had a smoke kit. I have always said "If it does not make any sense.....check the ground."
