Help me please!
anybody
Could be fuel pump. Try changing the air filter, fuel filter, spark plugs and wires, cleaning the IAC, MAF. What were the exact CEL codes for the cat defi Bank 1, and slight sputter at idle (assuming that is what Autozone told you)? Scan it and post. It could be O2 sensor too but without the CEL codes, it would be hard to know.
Edit. Duratec Maintenance How tos.
