We are getting too lean on one bank and too rich on the other bank. Our van has four o2 sensors. We are also getting a p0303
All the problems started we had a p301 then we changed the wires and it moved to p303.
We also had recall work and that is when the misfire started..
Could the recall be linked to the problems.
This could be. Does sound like a faulty 02 sensor if it is running lean or rich. It may also be a fautly computer if the o2 sensor are all new.

P0303 and P0301 are missfire codes, in most cases on a Ford this has nothing to do with the O2 sensors of which u have 2, the other two are catalyst monitors.
What does that mean?
A P0303 code means that the the car's computer has detected that one of the engine's cylinders is not firing properly. In this case it's cylinder #3.

Possible Solutions
If there are no symptoms, the simplest thing to do is to reset the code and see if it comes back.
If there are symptoms such as the engine is stumbling or hesitating, check all wiring and connectors that lead to the cylinders (i.e. spark plugs). Depending on how long the ignition components have been in the car, it may be a good idea to replace them as part of your regular maintenance schedule. I would suggest spark plugs, spark plug wires, distributor cap, and rotor (if applicable). Otherwise, check the coils (a.k.a. coil packs). In some cases, the catalytic converter has gone bad. If you smell rotten eggs in the exhaust, your cat converter needs to be replaced. I've also heard in other cases the problems were faulty fuel injectors.

When the problems we had the coil checked and we were told that the coil was good. This was done at the parts store. The Haynes book quotes something and the parts store quotes something else.
