Hey everyone I'm new to the forums so I lag how to work this site very well, I've read thread after thread about this issue but couldnt find a definitive answer or what to do. I have a 03 3.9 very clean one owner before me 80k miles. I did full coolant system replacement, (everything) including new egr, and Intake manifold gaskets, all Motorcraft. Now I'm getting p2195 p2197. Before the coolant swap I was getting intermittent lean codes that would come and go p0174. Since the swap I keep getting p2197 p2195. I also put new orings on my fuel injectors when I did the coolant swap, just throwing this out there because all orings were black from Motorcraft, when there was two different colors for orings tops were (blue) idk if that could be causing my issue but they seemed exact fit to me. Anyways I've tried finding any vaccum leak I could by spraying chemtool around my new intake manifold gaskets and all around any areas, couldn't find a vaccum leak period.
When I bought the car I had came to the conclusion the cats were bad, when I would punch the gas here and there I got that terrible rotten egg smell. And with the intermittent lean codes I was thinking the cats were causing the codes??
As of right now I am lost... Idk where to start or what to do. I'm willing to pull my intake manifold again and reset the gaskets and or put new gaskets inbetween metal to plastic there if that could be my problem?? The other day as I was bleeding the cooling system again I noticed a water drip under my car which I thought was odd that it wasn't coming from my tail pipe but it was dripping right after my catalytic converter? Again I am 99% sure I made this post way too long and forgot half of what I really should be saying lol. But I am lost and any help would be greatly appreciated..
