I reset the computer by disconnecting the battery, and the CEL went off but came back on after about twenty miles or so.

Default No more bucking but now a new code

I took it back to auto zone and the code came up P-443 Purge canister problems. I checked the wiring connector and it looked ok. Is there anything else I can check myself.

If you can provide the 8th digit of the vehicle identification number (VIN) or if you know what size engine is in the vehicle maybe we can help.

If you can, use Google and type in;

Ford 3.5L DOHC Spark Plug Replacement-YouTube

The movie shows and explains the procedure to replace the spark plugs. After looking it over it will help you decide if you want to do it yourself or have a shop with the right tools do it. Spark plugs do not always come with the correct gap and should be checked before installation.

Which red light , battery, brakes?
A failing alternator can give some of those symptoms.

Another item that will cause bucking is the TPS. If driven with the TPS in a consistent spot, it can develop a "DEAD" spot (0 ohms). This spot will tell the computer to shut the injectors "OFF". It is a momentary signal that causes the "BUCK" as the TPS position crosses the "DEAD" spot. It's most noticeable when trying to maintain a certain speed as the TPS constantly crosses the area back and forth.
