34 = egr valve not opening properly.

63 = Throttle Position (TP) circuit fault, below minimum voltage.

85 = canister purge solenoid circuit failure --- adaptive fuel limit reached or 3-4 shift solienoid circuit failure

98 = electronic pressure control (EPC) driver fail in processor.

ill tell you from experiences from working on friends foxes:

1.) check your wires make sure there hooked up on the right spot on the dissy, maybe 1 may be off.

2.) a very common problem is your IAC(idle air control valve) its the thing that looks like a stack of quarters and mounts on your throttle body.

3.) your tps sensor is out of range should be between 0.92 and 0.97, so check the voltage.

if not one of those 3, possibly your ecm is going bad. hope that helps.

You have a problem with the TPS (code 63)...... reason why code 98 (hard failure code present) shows up in the KOER.

Yep.... it is a failure code that needs to be fixed, after which, you should perform a Base Idle Reset. LUK
