User here. I recently acquired a 2004 Mustang 3.9L V6 in less-than-ideal condition. Despite its rough state, it's still running, but I'm encountering several issues. I snagged it for $1600 and I'm keen to spruce it up on a budget. I'm all for getting my hands dirty and tackling the repairs myself, but I want to avoid wasting money on unnecessary parts.

Here are the pesky error codes I'm dealing with: P0122 P0406 P0316 P0303

And here's a rundown of the symptoms I've observed:

• Odd idle, sounding rather unhealthy.
• Unusual jolting acceleration when throttling below 2000 RPM.
• An unsettling whine in first gear.
• A strange rubbing noise when maneuvering with the wheels turned fully.
• A foul odor emanating from the exhaust.
• A peculiar appearance of the EGR solenoid, with a piece hanging off.
• A distressingly loud and sickly exhaust note.

With these clues in hand, any suggestions on how to tackle these issues would be greatly appreciated!

Some Pics of The Exhaust System,Egr Issue Would Be Helpful. The Exhaust Issue & Foul Smell Sound Like Cat Converter Issue. Tire Rubbing Issue Maybe Too Large a Tire or Incorrect Wheel Offset. Are They Non Stock Setup??
