ok.. if it was cat inefficiency codes then thats not a big deal.. I think you need to find a Ford tech who knows what he is doing near you and do the blank path pcm reprogram. If you just bring it in and ask for it to be reprogrammed they will just re flash it. That will not fix this problem. Unfortunately most of the ford techs and techs in general don't know ****. So finding one who has even heard of blank path might be hard. tell them to read TSB # 04-24-14 this TSB is ford just about all ford models 1997 and newer.

If that don't fix it you may end up needing a PCM.
