Sounds like your TP sensor is bad or unpluged, and the same for your O2 sensors. Also problems with the EGR position and cooling fan circuit. That's a lot of unrelated problems, might want to make sure the PCM connectors are plugged in well and no wire harnesses have been severed or cut into. Maybe a wire bundle is getting melted on the headers . . . Is there something else you haven't told us?

Also look for maintenance and obvious mechanical problems - what CAL said plus more - uh, what KIND of car, mods, model year, mileage, usage,.......................

Hmmm, you have MANY mods, and "left it unplugged"....

Are you sure you haven'tmistaken this car for a 1965 Chevy?

Do you even have a clue as to the function of the PCM?

Not being mean, but come on, do some research or pay a pro to do it right!

Lot of sensors to go bad at once. Maybe a fuse out?
Dunno if there's a common point of failure but that
seems like a possibility.

Unplugged EGR could be a major vacuum leak, or a
source of excess oxygen in the exhaust, depending
on where it is "unplugged". The former would make
lean at low throttle; the latter, rich by feedback error.

The Egr Is Not Unplugged From The Exhaust I Have That Blocked Off With Some Block Off Plates That Came With My Headers. The Electrical Connector That Goes To The Egr On The Right Side Of The Intake. I Unplugged The Electrical Connector.

Sorry, but from your first post you seemed like a clueless noob - My fault for assuming, but YOUR fault for not explaning in detail!!!!

And, so it seems, by your intelligent and well thought out rant, I presume you know more than I, so enough said, and, to quote a famous philosopher of the last century:

"Well, Whatever, Nevermind...." K. Cobain

Have a nice day!

Many times when you have several electrical problems all at once that seem unrelated, the cause turns out to be a bad ground connection somewhere in the system. I'd start with the neg. battery terminal and then systematicaly check out each place where a wire ties in to the frame. Make sure the battery has a good charge on it as well and is putting out enough voltage. If all this checks out you could even have a bad PCM.

I think the EGR related codes are becasue you uhooked the EGR; you need to get that edited out with LS1edit. It can be a delayed reaction like that. But the other problems are unrelated.
