There is no such thing as a false code, only codes that people inadvertently set by unplugging things with the key on.
What engine does this have?

These are all lean codes. 90% of the time when I see these codes on a Ford, it's due to a major vacuum leak. Listen for a hissing noise at idle and try to follow it to it's source. It's very common for the rubber tubes, elbow and connectors to suck a hole right through them.

The K and E motors are also bad about the upper intake gaskets leaking on those causing rough idle and lean codes. Smoke test would confirm.

That indicates that you do have a vacuum leak. now you need to determine what it is. A smoke machine is the best way to find it.

I don't think you're going to get your hands on one of them too easily. They cost $1200 and up.

You can always do the Scotty Kilmer and blow cigar smoke into the intake...LOL
Sorry wrong pic... It's got one giant plastic plenum. The lower runners it sits on are part of the cylinder heads.

I don't know if the cigar trick would work on that. You could try and let us know. You have to block off the front of the throttle body. It might take a quite bit of smoke...probably enough to turn you green.

I don't smoke, so I am curious if that would really work on this type of leak.
If it does, maybe HT will subscribe to Scotty's videos...LOL

As I said, you have a leak. now you have to find it. Unless you sprayed that stuff directly into the throttle body opening, you hit a leak.

You can also spray water around with a spray bottle on stream setting. You'll actually see the water get sucked in. Plastic intake on those sounds like the engine has a vacuum leak because of the air rushing around inside even when there is no vacuum leak. It's hard to hear vacuum leaks on those unless it is a huge vacuum leak.
