After removing the mainifold the engine ports were 50% blocked as well.

When I changed my pas pump the nut on the pipe going into the pump leaked for a couple of days and now its fine.

You need to get them inlet ports cleaned out I used diesel and a toothbrush also clean the plastic part that mates to that. N

SO Ford got another 90£ out of me, if you change one pipe the other pipe will not fit as they changed the design 6mths after they were made to stop the pipes rubbing.
