Cleaned the throttle body and now it runs rich. I can Smell it in the exhaust. Something else I should fickle with? Egr tubes are bad. So I'm just gonna replace em so it's clean as it can be. Not to much money for them.

What do you mean the egr tubes are bad? Next clean the MAF sensor, hopefully it solves your richness problem

Egr tubes Are pretty dirty. Cleaned good amount off but may replace them so it doesn't need to be replaced in a short time cuz I couldnt get it all off. Alright I'll clean that sensor and see what happens

Check your vacuum lines to the EGR system for cracks/damage/off. Check the PCV Valve and hose also. Check all vacuum lines. Also intake manifold and bolts. Your lean condition is a vacuum leak. The EGR also malf's. Cleaning off the outside of this stuff isn't gonna fix the problem.

Clean the mass air flow sensor and replace the D.P.F.E. sensor for the egr system. See those codes on fords all the time.

I think disconnecting the battery for 30 mins should do it
