When you have CEL that disappear on their own. You have ground connections that need to be cleaned and treated with Vaseline! I dont know how many miles are on your fiesta, but when the spark plug wires fail, you will have the intermittent misfire mil.
I would start with cleaning the ground connection cluster at the underside of the transmission case ! One at a time. Clean each connection and retigbten them. Then coat the connections in Vaseline. Second area of ground connections is under the battery tray, on a metal tab on the firewall. Do the same cleaning and re tightening then vaseline. See what you get from that effort!

One item I see but not sure how this is getting shown or measured, but the vacuum - in Hg, that value appears to be pretty low - so this tells me a valve train issue or worse, a cam out of timing - as in a jumped belt.

IF timing is off, you'd get cam sensor issues - and also low-vacuum measurements - and also noted the coolant is running hot - like 204 degrees in one test you performed, which also shows that low Hg vacuum gauge reference.

So you know, a typical healthy engine shows ~20 to 22in Hg (Mercury) at idle 750 ~ 800 RPM and when in neutral or at park setting no-load - the engine RPM +1000 to 2K would also show STEADY Hg vacuum of about 20 inches of Mercury.

Also to add, the throttle angle is a sure-tell-tale sign of advance issue with timing when the angle pushes the system to "Off idle" when the system starts (cold) about 1,200 RPM and Warm/Hot starting at ~850 to 900 - so that throttle angle in those readings are far less than what you show - for at no-load and 13% opening - it should be screaming at about 2.5K RPM you show 950 RPM if that, and doesn't appear to be true steady reading either. It's trying to be at idle - and it has to force the throttle more open that it should be for a healthy motor. I'm seeing this just by the snapshot.

You show "load" conditions and timing advance (it's own thinking) of 10 degrees that would otherwise be about 20 ~ 32 degrees advance in load (one shot shows ~22 to 24 degrees advance - but again, the banks don't agree to the values they need to be at - so it' sets those codes) - seems to show less Advance than usual - as to which cam? The Bank it's reporting from Bank 0 or Bank 1 - Bank 0 is intake Bank 1 is exhaust.
