SOURCE: Fuel Pressure Problem on my 1996 Ford Explorer (4.0 V6)
Sounds like the fuel pressure regulator is going bad...this will cause the fuel pressure to be high and create a flooding condition. Which in turn will gas wash the motor and contaminate the O2 sensor with excessive fuel. Check fuel pressure with a gauge at the valve you are using to relieve pressure. You can find pressure specs on-line for that particular vechicle. If pressure is high...replace regulator, O2, change oil and reset computer by disconnecting battery for ten minutes...

You mention no check engine light, and all the work you've done leave one solution; Your catalytic converter is clogged.
When you replace you catalytic converter your issues will cease. This is a very common problem, and a simple fix.
I hope this information helps and I wish you luck with your repair.

It is a fuel rail pressure switch
So you look on the fuel rail
If you dont know how to do that or test it,
you don't get involved
Just because you got a code, doesn't mean that is a problem
I called a Lincoln Dealer earlier this year & they only sold
4 in four years total, for all vehicles they service & outside parts sells
So that is not a common failure at all
