The only one that should really make it change is the IAC. It and the ACT maybe dirty you cold clean them. Is there some type of running probablem with the car?

as a speed density guy... pull codes. we dont have a check engine light http://www.troublecodes.net/Ford/ . it is amazing how a sd will compensate for sensors but the iac disconnected should cause a prob. are you doing this with the engine at running temp(closed loop)?

Check and see if you have a bad gasket on your EGR sensor, I had a similar problem as you and that was the casuse, car ran good after I replaced it...
