Explorer idles ok but stalls in gear

I recently pulled up to a red light and stopped. When the light turned green I pressed the gas and my Explorer would only 'crawl' slowly up to speed with almost no accceleration. When I stopped on any kind of incline at all, I would not have power to pull uphill at all. I could put it in reverse and it seemed to do okay. I got it back home and I've tried some easy things with no success. I installed a new TPS and a new MAF sensor. The vehicle had been driving fine until this happened with no warning at all. I purchased a code reader and this is what it says:
Fault 11 Pend 02
P0122
P0743
P0750
P0755
P0760
P0765
P0135
P0155
P0101
P0141P
P0302P
I also received codes P1747 and P1451, but these weren't listed in the manual.
I don't have very much mechanical experience, but would really like to know what the problem is and any way(s) to save some money. I will appreciate any help. Thanks!

Welcome to the forum!
What year is your Explorer, and which engine does it have?
The codes designated by P1xyz are Manufacturer-specific codes and can vary from brand to brand. Some scan tool manufacturers refer to these as "enhanced" codes and will provide the definitions at an added cost.
According to the factory service manual, for your Ford these mean:
P1451 = EVAP Control System Canister Vent Solenoid Circuit Malfunction.
P1747 = EPC, wiring, PCM -> EPC solenoid circuit failure, shorted circuit or output driver. This code relates to the transmission.
It sounds like your Explorer likely went in to Limp Home mode.

Should have mentioned that! It's a 2000 Ford Explorer, 6 cyl SOHC
Thanks.
Thanks.

As a rule of thumb fix the first code in the list and clear codes and see what returns.
On the P1747 code Electronic Pressure Control Solenoid shorting to vehicle power.
When this code is present the PCM will selectively shut down cyclinders to reduce transmission torque.
This would explain your P0302, and O2 sensor codes.
