    So I tried again this morning, with the car at operating temperature. Plugged in the jumper wire and started the car. Key on engine running codes were 536 and 632? Strange but I don't feel like either one of those is relevant

      After a lot of research I am thinking it could be the DPFE sensor causing my issues. Any thoughts? After looking online all I see is plastic replacements, is this normal? Mine is metal..

          Yes, plastic is normal. I've never actually seen a metal one.

            So the replacement for mine is supposed to be plastic?

              The early factory ones were metal, I think that stopped by the later 90s.

                  Long story short, I found the culprit. A spark plug wire boot was torn. Looked like little lightning bolts shooting out of it. No idea how I never noticed this before. But I replaced the wire, and the car is running great again. I swear sometimes the dumbest little things can cause such a headache. I went ahead and ordered a set of Autolite wires, should be here soon. I'm sure if one was bad it's only a matter of time for the others. Thanks to everyone that helped me out with this!

                    Be careful with Autolite, they're now 100% chinesium. Motorcraft might be going that way too.
