I will try to paste an article for you. Several sources indicate this is a Bank 2 O2 sensor problem and that it is failing to switch and adjust for the fuel mix. But as you can see, many defects can lead up to this O2 sensor Code 1150.

I would try to use a spray bottle of water and go around the Intake manifold and spray the water while the engine is running. An intake leak will draw water into the engine and change RPM.

If no success then try changing the O2 bank 2 sensor. You may need to wipe the computer and clear the Code. H40 DTCs P1131, P1132, P1151 AND P1152: UPSTREAM HO2S NOT SWITCHING. DTC P1130: FUEL SYSTEMcode 1150 on a 1997 ford f 150 with a 4.2 motor - icon1.png NOT SWITCHING AT FUEcode 1150 on a 1997 ford f 150 with a 4.2 motor - icon1.pngimg src="/uploads/images/icon1.png" alt="icon1.png" class="h_mi" /> TRIM (RICH OR LEAN)
Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) P1131 bank 1 (Cylinder 1) and P1151 bank 2 indicate the fuel/air ratio is correcting rich for an overly lean condition. The HO2S voltage is less than 0.45 volt. DTCs P1132 bank 1 (Cylinder 1) and P1152 bank 2 indicate the fuel/air ratio is correcting lean for an overly rich condition. The HO2S voltage is greater than 0.45 volt.
DTC P1130 and P1150 indicate the fuel control system has reached maximum compensation for a lean or rich condition and the HO2S is not switching.
DTC/HO2S Reference List
•HO2S-11 = DTCs P1131, P1132 and P1130
•HO2S-21 = DTCs P1151, P1152 and P1150

•Leaking fuel injector(s).
•Leaking fuel pressure regulator.

•Vapor recovery system
Induction system

•Vacuum leaks (vacuum lines and gaskets).
•Restricted air inlet.
•PCV system.
•Improperly seated engineicon1.png oil dipstick.
EGR System
•Leaking gasket.
•Stuck open EGR valve.
•Leaking diaphragm.
Base engine
•Oil overfill.
•Cam timing.
•Cylinder compression.
•Exhaust leaks before or near the HO2Ss.
•Check intake air system for leaks, obstructions and damage.
•Check air cleaner element, air ccode 1150 on a 1997 ford f 150 with a 4.2 motor - user_online.giffor blockage.

Getting a p00014, p054a, p054c error codes

Those are camshaft sensor codes. Ford has been having issues with the early eco-boost motors. Probably just a sensor that needs replacing.

Can I put a 1981 ford f-150 motor in a 1991 ford f-150 truck

Sounds to me like you opened a can of worms that you are not equipped/qualified to deal with. To begin with, doing an engine change the way you did it is illegal. It is OK to put the newer motor in the older vehicle, but it is against federal law to put the older engine into the newer vehicle. REFERENCE: EPA ENGINE SWAP FACT SHEET

With all that said, if you want to do a swap like that, it is necessary to also swap wiring harnesses and computer modules (among several other components) if you expect it to work.

Rear power sliding window doesnt work fuse ok 2004 f 150 larait

Same on my '03 Lariat SuperCrew. I took out the "electric motor" aka 'regulator' and replaced it with a salvage - $150.
Got home and connected both of them separately - they both work for 1/4 of a second, then they cease working for no rhyme or reason. I'm angry because I just blew $150, and the problem hasn't been solved. Looking at the switch next.
