I did all the work myself valve cover gasket, spark plugs replaced, EGR valve and sensor replaced all brand new 02 sensors four, coolant sensor, ladle air control valve and gasket, throttle body gasket and mass air flow sensor.
And the same codes are coming up, what am I missing?

It is hard to know for sure what you may have missed so the best bet is to start checking things out to find out what is happening then we will know what to chase.

So, we need to find out how long it will keep running. Are you able to keep it running long enough to check for a vacuum leak? Here is a guide that will help with this.

If you cannot keep it running, then we need to put a vacuum gauge on it and find out if once it levels out if the needle is staying steady before it cuts off.

Below is a chart that will help with seeing what the issue may be based on the gauge reading.

Let's start with this because I think we will find something with this, and we can go from there.

Thanks
