I suggest you clear all the codes then drive for a while then scan again
The errors that return will give you a better reference.

From my experience the freeze frame data needs to be collected at operating temp. Good luck finding reference values though, you'll find some though the motorcraft website but not all as it appears to me that Ford keeps the reference values in their proprietary software. Snapon tools etc do have some as well.

From what you are describing, it could be many things from contamination to a dodgy sensor. I'd check the suction control valve pressure against the target value. The SCV is susceptible to contamination...

Before any of this though, I'd drop into a shop get someone to hook up a computer that compares values against reference values for you. You'll spend a lot of time here looking for answers... forscan is good for reading values but it doesnt do any interpretation.
