Great fix. I learned a long time ago when working on a Ford and there are issues with no defined codes such as rough idle, no power during acceleration, lean readings from the 02's, etc i replace the MAF. The readings are close enough where you think it's fine and no code it's still junk.
never argue with a fool, they'll drag you down to their level and beat you with experience

What is really awesome is that the Ford dealer has been fighting this code for 2 years, and it took less than a month with your help for me to fix it. Now the customer says he will be bringing all of his vehicles here instead of the dealer!
