SOURCE: 2003 escape idling to high, exhaust pipes turning orange red, not cataylic
Your escape is a 3.0L duratec motor. Is the motor itself overheating or just the pipes? The high idle is often related to a dirty Idle Air Control module or IAC, which is located on the top of the motor near the throttle body. If you clean this, or replace it, after a few days the high idle is often times solved.

I had the same problem on a Rover. There was a leak in inlet manifold that was caussing the problem.
To verify, spray some sealant to temporarily seal the inlet manifold .and the eratic idling should disappear for some time.
If it does, you know there is leak in inlet manifold which you can take of and refit with a new gasket.

I dont think it is the PCV but its a good idea to replace the PCV at least once a year either way, and its very cheap, usually $2-$5 at autozone.
SOURCE: Exhaust pipe rattles when car idles. Had muffler
Check the heat shield on the Catalytic Converter, after a few years they start to rust off and rattle. Crawl under the Pathfinder and bang along the Converter and muffler area and see where it's coming from.
Good chances are, it's from the heat shield since you already had everything changed from the Cat back.
Good luck and hope this helps.

The purge solenoid valvend canister are part of the EVAP system. The automatic diagnostic method tests the integrity of the EVAP system for leaks by pressurizing everything and then checking to see if pressure is lost. The filler cap is the main seal to the gas tank and if this is loose then compromises the ability of the system to be pressurized. Put a film of grease around the rubber seal and fit the cap tightly.
The following is a brief overview of the system (any spelling anomalies are due to my British background). I hope you find it helpful :-
What is it? The EVAP system is a collection of pipes and devices designed to prevent
fuel vapour emission to protect the environment.
Where is it located? Pipes run from the top
of the fuel tank to the carbon (vapour trap) canister which can be located
between the inner and outer fenders (wings), on the inner fender or on the
firewall (bulkhead). A pipe connects
the canister to the throttle: the pipe exits just in front of the throttle
plate.
How does it work? The EVAP system passively stores the vapour from the fuel tank in a
charcoal filled canister. When the
engine is running above idle speed the ECU opens a purge valve to the pipe
leading to the throttle body. A vent
valve allows the ingress of air into the canister and this encourages fuel
vapour to be drawn out through the purge valve to be added to the air intake
mixture to be burnt. The opening of the
purge valve cycles with engine speed.
The purge valve should be closed during idle.
Symptoms of faulty EVAP
How to check? Simply clamping off the pipe from the EVAP purge valve should result in
an immediate improvement in engine idling performance. Remove the purge valve and try to blow
through it. If there is resistance then
the valve is mechanically OK. Applying
voltage to the electrical connections should open the valve and remove any
resistance to blowing.
How to fix?
If the valve is jammed
open permanently or fails to open when signaled to do so then replace it. It may be possible, taking the greatest
of care in the process, to open the valve to clean it up in the hopes of
affecting a repair. If the solenoid itself,
however, shows 'open-circuit' due to an electrical break it is best to replace it.
