i can look tommorrow about the po487, but the p100 means the pcm has not cleared all monitors yet because of a pending dtc.

Possible causes:
EGRTP actuator circuits
EGRTP actuator
PCM
Key off.
Disconnect the charge air cooler tube from the throttle body.
Key on, engine off.
The PCM will activate the EGRTP actuator and perform a full sweep of the throttle plate for each key cycle with the IAT temperature greater than 0°C (32°F).
Observe the throttle plate for movement, it may be stuck and the PCM doesn't register a voltage change.
Hope this helps>

2006 PCED doesn't list p0487 either, maybe a programming glitch?

The only code that my triple dog threw on a consistent basis when I had it on there was a "U" code which I'm sure was a communication of some type code. I haven't known SCT tuners(although I would do the X3 if you go this route, not the LiveWire. Maybe the TSX as wel, but don't do the LiveWire) or the Spartan Phalanx to throw codes along these lines.
