The problems you are describing indicate to me that you likely need to replace the coil pack that runs from the spark plugs ,and the plug wires end up at it.It also may be the spark plug wires,get a water bottle and spray the wires after dark and if you get a light show from them then replace them,if not,replace the coil pack.

Sounds like a defective knock sensor. These bring on multiple misfire codes with little change to performance. Check your oil level too, this can make knock detection codes come on unnecessarily. Hope this helped...

SOURCE: Down to the final OB code on my truck...Po174

P0174 FORD - Fuel Injection System Too lean Bank 2xicon.jpghttp://engine-codes.com/p0174_ford.htmlForum CodePossible causes- Intake air leaks
- Faulty front heated oxygen sensor
- Ignition misfiring
- Faulty fuel injectors
- Exhaust gas leaks
- Incorrect fuel pressure
- Lack of fuel
- Faulty Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor
- Incorrect Positive Crankcase Ventilation (PCV) hose connection Tech notes The codes is usually set when there is an intake leak after the air flow meter, before replacing any parts check for loose or broken hoses and intake gasket leak. On Ford some models dirty air filter, and dirty or faulty air flow sensor are the cause of the problem.

It's a very common problem for the Ford Windstar. Here a link to a web site with information how to repair:
When is the code detected?- Fuel injection system does not operate properly.
- The amount of mixture ratio compensation is too small. (The mixture ratio is too lean.) Symptoms- Engine Light ON (or Service Engine Soon Warning Light)
- Excessive Fuel ConsumptionP0174 FORD Description The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) monitors the engine Air/Fuel mixture ratio, the actual mixture ratio can be brought closely to the theoretical mixture ratio based on the mixture ratio feedback signal from the heated oxygen sensors 1. The PCM calculates the necessary compensation to correct the offset between the actual and the theoretical ratios.

In case the amount of the compensation value is extremely large (The actual mixture ratio is too lean.), the PCM judges the condition as the fuel injection system malfunction and light up the engine light.

SOURCE: what causes 2000 taurus engine rough idle but no codes

I had a head gasket going when I have a rough idle. Just weeping coolant past the number 1 cylinder. When I pulled the head the piston was all shiny and steam cleaned. $500 dollars all good now.

My cadillac escalade runs rough in idle.

PO174 &171- Both banks lean. This could be caused by a defective MAF or O2 sensor but something as simple as a vacuum leak could cause this problem. Also make sure there are no air leaks from the MAF sensor to the intake manifold. I have repaired many vehicles with these codes that was caused by a vacuum leak. Hope this helps

I have a 2000 Cadillac Deville with 180k miles. I've been getting P0171 and a P0174 code. Yet there is no vacuum leaks. I replaced the MAF and still its idles rough once it heats up. Any suggestions?

Have you not Googled the Codes PO171 & PO174
to learn the problem ?

I would suspect you never changed the front O2 Sensors
at 100,000 miles & they both have now failed

The MAF shouldn't have been the issue

You may also have converters that are worn out
with a 14 year old vehicle

Are you changing Spark Plugs every 3 years ?

A rich fuel issue will drive the O2 lean also
Need to look at Fuel Trim on scan tool & other data
