I have several codes on my 1998 windstar they are P0303, p0171, P0402 and P0174. Is there one or two items I can change that may resolve some or all these codes?

The 303 is a misfire, and if there's no issue with the plugs or wires, I've replace a TON of ignition coils. If you remove the coil pack and see ANY type of crack in the mold on the bottom, replace it, it's done! The 171 and 174 are typically the intake plenum seals. The plenum gasket doesn't need to be replace, but the lower seals and bolt/seal kit (the bolts that hold it on to the intake manifold) require changing.

Ford windstar check engine light comes on after stopping when starting to get moving again shows p0171 & p0174 codes why??

P0171 indicates a lean condition. The most common cause of this is a defective mass air flow sensor. Also check if any vacuum leaks. P0174 OBD-II Trouble Code


Technical Description

System Too Lean (Bank 2)


What does that mean?

Basically this means that an oxygen sensor in bank 2 detected a lean condition (too much oxygen in the exhaust.

Note: This DTC is very similar to P0171, and in fact your vehicle may show both codes at the same time.

Thanks.

P1507 P0171 & P0174 error codes on 02 windstar

p0171 indicates the system is running lean on bank 1,p0174 means the system is running to lean on bank 2 p1507 is an idle speed under run fault i'd suspect an air leak is the cause of your problem check air intake system for airleaks
