CHeck your Filler Neck.

Leaks in the filler neck throw miscellaneous codes like this also.

Usually the return LIne(small rubber return) is colapsed or restricted.

Quick check and cheap fix.

Fix the filler neck first before you do your sensors!

Also, unplug your truck for 10 mins to reset the Codes!

i spoke too soon. before i replaced my o2 sensors (weekend before christmas) my light came on about 3 times a week. it hasnt came on since till last night. so i will look into the filler neck. i fixed it when i first bought the truck 1 1/2 years ago. so it could be i missed something.

things to check also for these codes: mass air flow sensor, vacuum leaks, pcv valve/lines, leaks in the intake tube after MAF, actually a lot of things can throw these codes (thanks ford).
