I do not see that oil pressure is supported by FORscan:

Should be a PCM pid in Forscan(I don't have the car, but worth a try!)
The PCM is where the engine malfunctions come from? Sorry, I am new at this.
Yes, try forscan and see what codes come up when you do the initial scan. It will check every module in the car. Coverage should be good for your car because Forscan is made by a guy in Russia (Fiesta is a Euro Car I believe) and I think he actually drives one(or a focus).
Then go into the PCM (there are many choice, GEM, ABS, etc). And look at data pids for the issues you have. If the throttle assembly is bad, you should be able to read throttle angle as you press the accelerator.
Forscan is comparable to IDS for my cars (I never tried programming, but it can actually work thru the ford VCM II interface hardware). Forscan is a partial replacement for IDS.
If you have issues, contact the forscan team, they will work with you.
