My 97 4.0L is having these codes come on P1151,P1443,P0171,P0174 and P0153... not just that, it's also: "Running like shiv! And getting shiv for gas mileage, not good with how much gas is today!" It starts fine and then suddenly throdles up and when I put it in Drive it drops to idle 750/800 and bounces to 450/500 and back and forth... When driving it accelerates the same jumping up and down and then starts and run normal. On the freeways if I get it in the last gear "automatic" and the RPM's get to close to 1000 it doesn't want to accelerate like normal, it jumps around again. I just changed all 3 O2 senors, and take really good care of her. NEED HELP PLEASE!

 

When you first start the engine, it should idle up to around 1500 rpms for warm up, and then fall down to around 800 or so. My truck does that annoying thing where the rpms will drop down to 400/450 but only on certain conditions:
Moving both power windows at the same time
Turning without moving
Giving it gas and letting off quick at a stop sign
Or shifting from drive to reverse
Other than that, I have no idea. It could be something dirty in the MAF, but I am unsure of what would help

 

I cleaned the MAF and that wasn't it, checked on both O2 up streams and it was one of them. Runs good again.

 

I had the same problem, and there was an air leak coming from the motor after shutting off the truck. Come to find out I had a vacuum hose with a slit in it on the bottom of the hose. Check the air lines that run on top of the head cover, next to the engine oil fill cap. Once I fixed the hose it was good, the idle didnt jump up and down, and no more check engine light
