Replace your rear oxygen sensor ,,,if that does not clear your code after about a 100 miles than you need a cat converter ,,if you have a bundle of miles on it already that will most likely be your issue

SOURCE: po443 code 2002 ford taurus

That code is for the Evaporative Emissions. It could be a bad Evaporative Emissions Canister Valve or just a bad vacuum line or my granddaughter's 1997 Ford Escort had that code and her gas cap was NOT on. Now when you figure out what one it is disconnect the battery for 10 minutes to reset the computer.

SOURCE: Check engine light on P420 code 2004 Matrix

PO420 is a Catalyst Efficiency Beloe Threshold (Bank 1)
I'd go to AutoZone or your auto parts store to get a printout of the possible fixes to this problem.

Hope this helps...

I have a 05 Ford Taurus. 3.0 liter. Failing Emmision with the p420 and p430 codes. How many O2 sensors do they have and code that be the issue?

It actually has 4, O2 sensors. One just below where the exhaust manifolds bolt to the exhaust system then one just in front of the convertor and one right after it. The reading for a PO420 and PO430 is low efficiency at bank 1 and 2
which could also be a bad convertor. However, the sensors are cheaper.

1999 Ford Taurus abs system

You can look up any codes & go from there

If no codes-- check for corrosion on abs module harness
connector

Most likely you have a bad wheel speed sensor-- but need
the pcm to first run a check on abs at start up -then work
any codes.

Near impossible without factory manuals

I only have 2004 ford gas eng manuals --but if you have codes
I can work on something

ECU compatibility

You can try to replace with a similar unit, but typically Ford ECUs have to be "reflashed" by the dealer. Ford has numerous calibration codes and various other vehicle specific information that can only be managed with Ford certified (dealer) programing devices. I hope this helps
