My ford is having problems idling and staying started. It coded problems with 2 of the o2 sensors and mass air sensors. How much will this cost to take to a dealer ship. Estimate

Depends on what there hourly rate is and what you are going to need replaced? Just because you have oxygen sensor codes or mass meter codes does not mean that you have a problem with those items. I suspect that you have a vacuum leak and that is why your truck keeps stalling out. And because you have a vacuum leak the oxygen sensors are reporting what they see and the mass air flow is reporing what it sees and now there is some conflict with the mass air flow sensor and the oxygen sensor so the light triggers. On the passenger side there is the pcv valve. Trace the vacuum hose. It goes to the back of the intake. Behinde it the vacuum hose collapses and breaks causing a massive leak and your truck to stall. It is pretty hard to reach back there because it is tight. Let me know what you find.

I have to double check, but I don't think they have 4. Which V8 do you have? As far as location, they are usually mounted to the side of the exhaust.

Would having a bad O2 sensor cause my vehicle to idle really rough and have trouble starting up unless I give it gas intermittently?

I would check and clean the Idle Air Control Valve first. Remove it, spray and soak it with brake cleaner. It is on top of the throttle body; should be easily accessed. If the sputtering at idle continues, replace the IAC valve.

Bad O2 sensors wouldn't necessarily make the engine run rough because they simply provide feedback to the PCM (car computer) as to current operating parameters. In fact, you can disconnect them and the engine will appear to run almost the same.

Hello

Information on testing your oxygen sensor(s) can be found on our Service Repairs page. Just follow the link below.

https://www.2carpros.com/how_to/how_to_test_oxygen_sensor.htm

To test the EGR valve operation, start the engine and then disconnect the control hose (light blue dot in 2.). The EGR valve should open and engine should slow or hesitate. If disconnecting the hose makes no difference, either the hose is leaky/ blocked or the EGR exhaust gas pipes are blocked.

Go in through the right side tire well. We use a special o2 sensor rachett handle to break it loose. It is very tight.

Did you heat the pipe? Not the 02 sensor. @ This point you might need a new pipe or have to repair the 02 hole when it comes out. Is the nut striping or just not braking free?

The upstream heated O2 sensor is on the exhaust before the converter close to the engine. Here is a picture. It is the best I could find. I hope it helps.
