Hello, my car died on me one time when I made a stop. Is having a check engine light so check it with the code reader. At first yesterday I spend the day trying to diagnose what was wrong with it. At first it have p0135, p0300, p0301 codes; so I went and check for solutions to this codes. After a while I erase the code drive around the corner and it came up with the check engine light again, so I connect the scan tool and for some reason I was not having the p0135 code any more, but then I had two new ones p0449 and p0443. Including the p0300 and p0301. Do you think that they are on a relation with the misfire ones I mean can this evap problem cause the engine to misfire? And I also experience a rare situation. I turn the car off and then turn it; in less the a minute the fuel and temp gauges went al away down and the theft system, abs, seat belt, check oil, lights came on, and my wipers and electric windows, radio, and a/c stop working. A couple of second after that a the lights went off, and the electric windows, wipers, a/c, radio and gauges started to work. When that happen I could hear a difference on the engine speed. And the engine fills like when you take a spark wire when the engine is running. What could be wrong.I erase the codes and wait a little I went fore a ride and check engine light came on and now the only codes that is reading are p1122, p0449, p0300 confirmed codes and p0443 and possible code. After a while I notice that the rpms goes up and down between 500 rpm and 1200 rpm if I push the gas the and then take the foot off the gas it will stay in 1200 rpm for 5 seconds and up and down like I told you. And also the car is not going more than 4000 rpm.

GM has a tech bulliten on thier connectors, first thing to check when so many things go wrong is the harness connectors, pull them apart and check for any corrosion, bent or pushed out pins or even signs of burning(melted) connectors. Codes are as follows, and The P1122 seems to be the one cuasing both the misfire and 1122 to come up, the evap cicuit needs to be looked at.
