03 4.2 egr

I have a 203 4.2 E150. I had a camshaft position sensor go bad and replaced it. A few days later I got a code for mass air flow sensor, cleared that and checked wiring. Next day got code for EGR flow and lean on bank 1 & 2. Vert light fluxuation at idle SOMETIMES, but half the times it runs fine at idle. Any ideas?

Ive checked the codes a few times and some days the pop up and others they dont. i stll have wierd idle sometimes and im not sure where to start. im borrowing a pretty good scan tool from a buddy, so if any one knows how i could test some of these sensors please let me know. i dont want to start replacing things if they arent bad.

The van was acting horrible today, so i checked the codes thinking that it was the cam sensor again and this is what i have:
P0136 H02S12 CICUIT FAULT
P0401 EGR INSUFICIENT FLOW DETECTED
P1131 H02S11 SENSOR INDICATES LEAN
P1151 H02S21 SENSOR INDICATES LEAN
P0171 SYSTEM TOO LEAN (BANK 1)
P0174 SYSTEM TOO LEAN (BANK 2)

If anyone has any idea as to where i can start please let me know. I use the van everyday for work and cant afford to lose days on the road with a machanic.
PLEASE HELP!!

I have three of the same codes for O2 sensors lean. You are lucky enough to have an EGR sensor problem, so I'm guessing this was a vacuum leak? I'm still trying to figure mine out, what ended up being the deal?
