I have had some issues here lately with my Pony. It was throwing codes P0172 & P0175. I changed the fuel filter and plugs...seem to ride good but would still throw those two codes.

Well yesterday while driving the car would hesitate/bog down for a second or two and then snap back to normal driving conditions. It would do this every so often but not frequently or with anything I could associate it with. It would hesitate/bog down under acceleration or while crusising. I checked the codes that were thrown and these are them:

P0190
P1132
P1152
P0172
P0175

It's a 2000 V6 3.8L 5spd Manual.

I am totally at a loss. I don't really want to take it to the mechanic if it's something I could tackle. If it's not something I can tackle I will take it to a mechanic. But would really like to trouble shoot this and find out what is the cause/problem without throwing money at it and hoping.

Thanks for your help with this in advance!!!!

d*mn. sorry to hear it threw all the codes. go to your local advance auto, theyll scan tool it for free, and then youll have a general idea of where ya stand. if the parts guy knows something about cars (probably not too likely, around these parts), he can maybe tell ya what parts you need to replace. good luck.

Look in the FAQ sticky at the top of the page, there is a link to all the fordOBII codes.

P0190 Fuel pressure sensor
P1132 O2 sensor
P1152 O2 sensor
P0172 -P0175 Indicating either rich or lean (I forget off the top of my head)

I don't have my book with me, later I'll get more info for you.
The letter/number combos tell you what area of the car are at fault: P= powertrain. First digit 0 is a generic code for all OBD II computers. 1 is a Ford specific code. The other three tell you what is triggering it.

youll probably fix most, if not all, of those codes if you change the 02 sensors and reset the comp? good luck, man.
