Getting a P1518 code, Intake Actuator (stuck Open), is this one of those just replace parts or see if it can be cleaned and put together?
also codes:
P430
P174 and 171
​​​P136
Cats looked to been gutted, even square cuts on them that are welded.

Look in a service manual
They all are numbered
of course, U, B. P and C codes are different
Read some pages out of a PCED
We all started learning somewhere

Some basics of O2 sensor numbering
Bank one and bank 2, Bank 1 is the bank that has the number 1 cylinder
Sensor 1 and 2
Sensor 2 is a rear sensor, sensor 1 is a front one
Ford numbers them sensor 11, 12 21 and 22
