Can you bypass exhaust sensors on a 1996 Ford f 150?

SOURCE: Overfuelling when engine is cold, no power past 4000rpm.

First thing I would do is hook a scanner to the car to check the throttle position sensor and coolant temp sensor to make sure the car is getting up to temp. If it's not getting up to 195 degrees, none of your controls are going to work right. Also, make sure it's full of coolant because low coolant will make the car think it's in cold weather and make it run rich. Also, a thermostat will make a car have this kind of problem. Phil

SOURCE: Got a PO118 code for my 1996 ford Econo 150 van.

I work for Ford and have never seen this code, but the sensor must be on the fuel rail on the top of the engine, vans have a hot stall/hessitation issue from vapor lock, maybe this is part of the fix.

Most of the time this means low fuel pressure,check the fuel filter to see if it is stopped up,if so,replace it,if not,then have the fuel pressure checked to rule out fuel pump.

the EGR valve isnt working ,disconnect any vacumn pipes that run to the valve and wires and leave it like that unless you want to fit a new one ,an older vehicle never had this contraption fitted ,they always give problem when vehicle is older so if the vehicle runs then leave it disconnected .
