I got the codes. I recorded it this time so I could verify. Here’s what I read: 335, 335, 1, eight codes, repeated eight codes. What does the one mean?
Not sure if you meant to put 335 twice or there is s typo but 335 is EGR (PFE) Sensor voltage out of range

118 Engine coolant temp sensor high or open, this would mess with the fuel mixture potentially causing the O2 sensor errors and a rich mixture.

I would start there...

mans that’s a stored code? I replaced the sensor already (the 2 pin computer sensor, not one pin dash sensor). Should probably clear codes. Does disconnecting battery clear codes?

If you've already repaired some of the codes, then I'd focus on replacing the DPFE and then clearing everything. Check them again in a few days to see if anything new is in the system.

To clear them, IIRC you just disconnect the code reader mid test. But I'd search that info to confirm.

ah I didn’t even know about the DPFE sensor. What about the EGR valve and solenoid? Would that be suspect after the DPFE?

Possibly, but the DPFE sensor is so amazingly common that it's one of the few things I'd ever replace based on a code alone. Double check the vacuum lines between it and the exhaust manifold, but if they're good I'd put in a new one (preferably motorcraft).

So I changed the DPFE sensor, EGR valve, and solenoid. I tested the valve with a nearby vac line and it made some crunchy, clicky sounds. I figured it was a problem. I reset codes and almost everything checked out for the 20 min trip I took. 179 (rich at part throttle) popped back up. I already put in a new O2 sensor so I have further reading to do.
