The 0171 code is a lean condition defect. This means the engine is getting extra air from somewhere. Could be a loose vacuum hose, bad intake gasket, or something else.

SOURCE: 2002 Ford Escape V6. Oil indicator light on, but pressure holds.

My 2002 Ford Escape had exactly the same problem as described. Dealer replace oil pressure sending unit (oil pressure switch) and problem still existed while leaving dealer about 3 miles away. I took the car back to the dealer again in two days and the oil pressure light kept of blinking sporatically all the way to the dealer. Dealer checked connections and they drove the car around and the oil pressure light never came on. I picked the car up from the dealer and I've had no problems with the oil pressure light flashing. I wonder if there is a microprocesser in the oil pressure sending unit which has to be given some time to be recalibrated to the cars main computer module?

SOURCE: 2003 Ford Expd. running rough @ idle -

There could be many issues. These codes read your engine is running too lean. Check : all your vacuum hoses for leaks, PCV valve and hose, MAF sensor. This may require an experienced technician to figure this out. Hopefully I help'd!!

My 2005 Ford F150 started stalling and seemed like it was running out of gas. I changed the fuel filter and now when I start it, it idles for 2-3 minutes and stalls out? Where to check fuel pressure

Have the fuel pressure tested to see if the fuel pump is the problem. You can check pressure just by turning key to ON, after you have connected a fuel pressure gauge at the fuel rail on the engine. There is a test port there, called a shraeder valve (?sp?).
There are specs for every vehicle, I don't know yours, but probably 50 psi, or maybe slightly higher.

I am not familiar with hybrids, but i think when you start, it's starting with the battery, so I think you have a bad connection, check and clean the battery terminals.

Ford Taurus Engine Light is: P0171 & P0174. I am thinking a MAF Sensor

Could be a problem with the MAF sensor but if it is you should have a code for that too.
Other causes include low fuel pressure, and a vac leak or air leak in the intake hose to the MAF.
The codes mean the ECM can not make the injectors rich enough to make the O2 sensors switch back and forth.

Windstar 3.8l 2000 doesn't keep running at iddle. It stall

Does van stay running when you hold the gas pedal down? Check fuel pressure at fuel rail should be 30 psi when key is turned on. EGR valve and EVP sensor also control idle.

Low tire pressure indicator ligt on

this is covered by warranty if it is not just a low pressure concern. Did you chek your owner manual to see if you need to reset? Did you check the spare?
