Scan for CEL codes and post.
Did you check the precatalytic converters to see if it was plugged?
You might have to do the el cheapo plugged exhaust test for the OBDI 1995 Duratec.
Plugged exhaust test.
For the OBDI 1995 Duratec, a good cheap way is to remove the O2 sensors, in this order (and see if the performance improves). Uninstall Bank 2 (radiator side) to determine if Bank 2 precat is plugged, reinstall Bank 2 and then uninstall Bank 1 (hardest one, close to firewall) to determine if Bank 1 precat is plugged.
If this doesn't pan out, you may have a plugged . Battery needs to be disconnected before uninstalling and installing O2 sensors.
