P0108 Manifold Absolute Pressure/Barometric Pressure Circuit High Input:
The PCM read a high voltage (4.3 volts) from the MAP sensor for more than 7 seconds. This problem is usually electrical and can be solved by replacing the MAP sensor (in most cases).
P0406 Exhaust Gas Recirculation Sensor A Circuit High:
Your vehicle has an electronically controlled EGR valve that allows exhaust back into the engine to be re-burned (as a measure to lower emissions and increase economy). The PCM commands the EGR to open and close and monitors the action via a pintle position sensor. That sensor is no longer functioning. In most cases, this problem can also be fixed by replacing the EGR valve.
Usually a misfire.
To turn off the check engine, disconnect the positive battery cable for 30 seconds, then reconnect.
You should ensure that you have had any needed repairs done to your vehicle when the check engine light comes on. If you have an ODB reader and already performed the repairs, you can use it to reset the check engine light, otherwise it can take time after a series of cold starts, and a mix of city and highway driving for the system to reset itself.

go to autozone they will hook up an OBD II scanner to your computer and explain the codes to you.
Check the Vehicle Emission Control Information ( VECI ) decal located in the front of the engine compartment ( it will show what type of spark plugs to use and the spark plug gap )
Your vehicle is trying to tell you that there is a problem that needs attention. If you do not have a reader to check your own codes, then you should take your vehicle to a mechanic to have it looked at. Ignoring the issue can potentially cause more issues that could be more costly.
To replace the water pump on a 2004 Ford Freestar, first disconnect the negative battery terminal and drain the coolant. Remove the serpentine belt and any components obstructing access, such as the alternator or engine mount. Unbolt the water pump from the engine block, clean the mounting surface, and install the new pump with a new gasket. Reassemble everything in reverse order, refill the coolant, and check for leaks.
To read a check engine code a person will need a code reader. They can also take their vehicle to an Auto Zone store and have them read the codes and explain what they mean for free.
I would check and see if you have a transmission or PCM problem.
