Default 1996 Mustang GT throwing codes advice needed

First off I am new here to the forum and I am also new to fords period I have built and ran chevys my whole life and decided it was time to see life from the other side and so far I like...anyway I have a 1996 Mustang GT 4.6, 5spd, 2.5 " stainless exhaust with out cats and I really dont know what else had been done basicly looks stock to me I have only had the car about a week now and I noticed the check engine light was burnt out so I threw my reader on it and I have 8 codes the car still runs good but here are the codes

1) P1443 Manufacturing contrl auxiliary emission controls

2) P0151 O2 sensor circuit low volts (bank 2 sensor 1)

3) P0401 EGR flow insufficient

4) P1151 Manufacturer contrl fuel air metering

5) P1443 Manufacturing contrl auxiliary emission controls (PENDING)

6) P0151 O2 sensor circuit low volts (bank 2 sensor 1) (PENDING)

7) P0401 EGR flow insufficient (PENDING)

8) P1151 Manufacturer contrl fuel air metering (PENDING)


I know 5-8 are duplicates but they all have pending at the end I did not know if this is info you ford experts need or not...well I appreciate any help and I half to admit on a chevy usually if it throws any codes they run like crap but on this ford so far it still runs like a scalded dog and it has issues maybe I should have jumped sides long ago. Thanks in advance

Sam

Those are the generic descriptions, you can look up the Ford descriptions, possible causes, and diagnostic tips at my site (click here)...

cliffy's link is priceless info. Im betting they have something to do with your cats being removed, and maybe the EGR failing/deleted.

from the information that I got from cliffs site I guess I can start with checking the egr and going over the vacum lines and go from there. If you have any sugestions on anything else let me know

yes i have a suggestion. stop stealing other peoples threads. you already have your problem posted in about 6 different sections of the forum. completely unnecessary. someone will help you eventually in YOUR thread.
