Ok, here's the thing, i own a 1998 Ford Escort ZX2, and took it down to autozone to get the service engine light checked and got 3 codes.

P1131- Lack of bank 1 02 transitions- lean. ECM detected bank 1 02 at its lean limit

P0303- Cylinder misfire detected-cylinder number 3. The powertrain control module monitors the crankshaft speed and has detected a misfire condition. (Note, i replaced all spark plugs, wires and coil a couple weeks prior to this reading)

P0113- Intake Air Temperature (IAT) sensor circuit high input. The ECM has detected a high voltage condition on the IAT circuit.

Additional Info- The car is a pain to start, as when i turn key i have to hold down the gas for a good 10 seconds to get it to start. Also once it is running it misfires like crazy and has a constant clicking when accelerating. And doesn't like to accelerate at all when going uphill and starts to sputter.

Any help would be greatly appreciated as im tired of fixing things that dont need fixing on this car. So far have changed a blown radiator as well which slightly damaged my transmission before i caught it.

OBD-II Trouble Code: P0113 Intake Air Temperature Circuit High Input
OBD-II Trouble Code: P0303 Cylinder 3 Three Misfire Detected
P1131 may be the result of the other 2 codes. Check those out and see what comes up after that.
