My buddys car had to be towed back as it started stumbling and had no power. We replaced the EGR and the IAC and it idles and revs just fine in park but the moment you put it in drive it loses all power and starts stumbling and is incapable of being driven. i'm at a loss.

Oh, and the brakes are almost non existent and shuts off when trying to drive and the EGR is getting extremely hot

My Forscan program gave me these codes. the first two I understand from the OBD module but the rest I don't know what to do with.

Hi,

The one code is specific to the transmission range sensor. When you place it in gear, does the indicator show the correct gear selected? Also, is the battery fully charged and the alternator producing?

As far as the running, the IAT seems like the most likely concern. I have the diagnostics specific to this code. Take a look through them and let me know if you are comfortable with performing them.

Here is the diagnostic chart. The attached pics correlate with the directions. Note this test is for multiple vehicles.

2003 Ford Truck Escape 4WD V6-181 3.0L DOHC VIN 1 Duratec
DA: Intake Air Temperature (IAT)/Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT)/Engine Oil Temperature (EOT) Sensors - Introduction
Vehicle Powertrain Management Computers and Control Systems Testing and Inspection Pinpoint Tests DA: Intake Air Temperature (IAT)/Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT)/Engine Oil Temperature (EOT) Sensors - Introduction
DA: INTAKE AIR TEMPERATURE (IAT)/ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE (ECT)/ENGINEOIL TEMPERATURE (EOT) SENSORS - INTRODUCTION
DA: Intake Air Temperature (IAT)/Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT)/Engine Oil Temperature (EOT) Sensors Introduction

DA: Pinpoint Tests See: Computers and Control Systems > Pinpoint Tests > DA: Intake Air Temperature (IAT)/Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT)/Engine Oil Temperature (EOT) Sensors - Pinpoint Test



Note

This Pinpoint Test is intended to diagnose the following:

- Intake air temperature (IAT) sensor (12A697)
- Integrated intake air temperature (IAT) sensor (12B579)
- Engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor (12A648)
- Engine oil temperature (EOT) sensor (12A648)
- Harness circuits: IAT, ECT, EOT and SIG RTN
- Powertrain control module (PCM) (12A650)
The term "applicable" is used in this pinpoint test and refers to the temperature sensor indicated by the DTC. Example: ECTV, IATV, EOTV.


Tables and Graphs

Note:Engine coolant temperature must be greater than 10°C (50°F) to pass the KOEO Self-Test and greater than 82°C (180°F) to pass the KOER Self-Test. To accomplish this, the engine must be at normal operating temperature.

Ambient temperature must be above 10°C (50°F) to receive acceptable input from the intake air temperature (IAT) sensor.

Engine oil temperature must be greater than 10°C (50°F) to pass the KOEO Self-Test and greater than 66°C (150°F) to pass the KOER Self-Test.
Voltage values were calculated for VREF = 5.0 volts. These values can vary 15 percent due to sensor and VREF variations.
