https://www.blueovaltrucks.com/tech-articles/everything-you-wanted-to-know-about-the-iwe-system-and-then-some/ Maybe this will help with your troubleshooting. Also I recommend a smoke machine. Invaluable for finding vacuum leaks.
Good luck!
With 204k mi, it would be worth checking all the vacuum lines. Especially the big elbow on the back of the intake (I can’t remember if it’s connected to the throttle body or the intake manifold, buts it’s back there.) Check all the rubber elbows, hard lines, and connection points. There could be...
Finished. No more SES light or P0170 and P0174 codes. Runs great, but there is quite a bit of steam coming out the tail pipe. I'm hoping that it's from coolant that found it's way into the cylinders when I removed the intake manifold. I'll drive it around and check it tomorrow. Goes without...

Throttle body assembly = 7 ft lbs
Intake manifold, 1st = 85 in lbs, 2nd = 18 ft lbs
Thanks!
I recommend Crutchfield . Look for an install kit for the type head unit that you are installing. Way easier than trying to figure out and splice the wires.
I found a new Motorcraft manifold at a local dealer! $255.01 out the door! So thankful!
Inspecting with my novice eyes, the seals appear to be intact. No obvious signs of leaking. Hoping the plugs look normal when I take them out tomorrow.
So far it's not too difficult. It's meticulous, but it's...
Started on this project today. It's going pretty well except for one of the nipples broke off the EGR pressure feedback sensor while removing the hose. The plastic is brittle and crumbles easily. Ordered new Motorcraft sensor. However, more importantly... I cannot remove the coil from cylinder...
Getting ready to start this job today. Thankfully the garage has warmed up to a toasty 42 degrees. LOL.

Nobody’s mentioned it yet, so I thought I’d ask. Should I replace the injectors while I’m there...
