That code is for 02 heater circuit. Replacing the sensor may not fix it. I'd have to check voltage and ground for the heater circuit wiring. The voltage is fuse protected, red wire.

Have you changed your oil? Rotella 15W-40. These engines really don't like old oil. It becomes too thick for the injection pump to work correctly. Another possibility is a bad cam sensor on the front of the motor. Most engines call this the crank sensor but on this engine you have to look it up as a cam sensor.

mcdevito75 here, Sounds like the idle speed motor, Ford is known for these idle speed motors going bad, in the later stages the car races like crazy. have your repair shop check this idle speed motor and change it.

There is a large vac line coming straight down from the throttle body that goes to the PCV system. See if it has a hole in it. It is likely sucking air.

1995 ford taurus stalled and will not start

Okay had some thing like this happen to me ,First dose your car smell like something like plastic is burning under the hood ? If not try having your mech do a scann on your car . I found than they can pin point but my car totally baffled them It would run after replacing every senor. My mechanic also found the big problem There is a big bundle of wires runiing behind the engine. Just above the rear manifold .(back spark plugs) Look down and see a wire harness it can get on the manifold and melt throught the thick insulation and burn wires and give false codes .this wire harnes and the big bundle of wires run the whole car so be car full
