There is really only one code. All the others were caused by a bad ignition module. Replace the module, clear the codes and you are good to go. Good luck
I've had trouble with the ignition module for the last 10 years. It goes bad about every 2 years or so. Usually the engine will die a couple of times before the module goes completely out and then the car won't start at all. The thing is that I changed it during the episode I mentioned in the beginning of this post. I always carry an extra module in the car. Anyways, the engine kept on stalling every mile or so the rest of the way home after I changed the module. That's why I ruled out the module. I have driven it every day since then and the engine hasn't died at all. What else could this be ? Where should I start ?
