there is no code for a bad ground. a code number never identifies a bad part, just a failed system.
we need the codes numbers to see if it has relivence to your issue.
fuel pressure is critical and may also be a failed injector pump.

temp sensor has no efect on your issue.
you need a new shop with someone who can give you the real reason for your issue.
