Check out the mass air flow, probably dirty, clean VERY CAREFULLY with electrical contact cleaner or replace it if you feel wealthy. DON"T BREAK THE WIRE, DON"T USE A CLEANER THAT LEAVES A DEPOSIT ON THE WIRE. Both codes together lead to this but more diagnostics would't hurt. Try cleaning it first, a bottle of spray is about $5.00 (cheap starting point).

I'm not exactly sure about the 136 and 141 codes, but the 171 and 174 are symptomatic of a known problem with Windstar 3.8 litre engines. Those codes combined with rough idle are prime indicators of a leaking upper intake manifold involving worn out "isolator bolts". See "Related Questions" below for more
