Oh man! I have more codes than James Bond. Where to start?
 
Durametric revealed a bunch of codes. Problem originally was a dead throttle.
MAF looks bad and cluster even has codes. Someone speculated a bad DME.
Any insight appreciated, my car misses the open road. Thanks!

clear all codes and then take it for a drive

I agree, reset them and see what comes back. I have had a few codes over the years that never came back, just a one time hiccup that threw the code. I learned my lesson after buying a $150 CPS sensor that I never ended up installing because the code never came back.

My Mazda throws this one code sometimes, I just disconnect the sensor, plug it back in and it goes away. Just a weak connection

So...the Follow up report.....
If you start getting codes like this and they come back, it's probably as in my case the ECU.
Mine didn't have contact issues, I burned out a major chip. Cost to repair from Repair Specialist, $1400.

Thanks for all the suggestions!

Question.

Where did the $1,400 go? That sounds costly. perhaps not so costly as having to replace the entire system, but, still costly.

So... it's back up and running?

The repair place specializes in car computers, and the normal cost is around $900.
The dealer wanted $3200 for a new ECU, plus reprogramming the alarm and keys on top of it.
Car runs like a top now. Thanks!
