The untrained monkeys at some of these Ford dealers really bug me. My 98 Service CD (a tool that every Ford dealer should have at their disposal) goes through step by step diagnosis for every OBD-II code and when followed will result in a precise diagnosis down to the actual failed part. Nowhere do I see instructions that say to replace a whole slew of sensors. But then again, the manufacturer's instructions aren't trying to rip off people who don't know any better either.
I know there are good Ford dealerships out there (Big Jim is proof of that), but they are few and far between. I'm just glad I have a mechanic that I trust if I come across a job I can't do myself.
Come back with the code, and I'll be more than happy to publish the instructions from my service CD for you.
