So I have a 3.8 mustang v6 it’s been losing power recently. I go to accelerate and it struggles (ps. I have a broken exhaust that snapped in half. Yes. In half. Right after manifold but not on the manifold. It loses power but still revs high. Not the transmission. Car smells like gas. In the past it would drive for a little before bogging down now it just outright won’t hard accelerate. I slam the gas and it sputters and almost stalls. Can only slow accelerate. I can go over 40 mph but it takes forever

Not a blown head gasket or over heating either.
Error codes on my OBII reader say:
“Exhaust Gas Recirculation Flow Insufficient Detected”
“System Too Lean Bank 1”
The fuel filter and air filter aren’t old. Changed fuel pump 1 year ago. And fuel injectors have been cleaned 6 months ago.
If you wanna know anything else ping me and I’ll let you know anything else you may wanna know. As I know diagnosing without seeing is not the easiest
I think you may have fricked something up with your EGR system, but that's as far as my knowledge extends
So obii not getting all the exhaust information is causing it to go insane?
O2 sensor not obii
Probably yeah it's not getting correct readings and throwing a conniption fit bc of it
