Something must have gone wrong, codes should not be repeated. I ended up buying a $30 code reader because pulling the codes without a codereader is a pain in the ***.

I have no idea, it does not make any sense to me. Maybe the AC being on is making it do weird things, that is the only thing I can think of. My suggestion is to try it again and make sure everything is turned off: AC, radio, fan, and lights. Godamn computers!

In this case, I would suspect a problem with the PCM. Check the ground behind the battery on the fender first. There is also a way to test the PCM, but I don't remember how off the top of my head. I tried a search but could not find it. You might want to look around for that, I know that Conanski has mentioned it. Good luck, hopefully its just a bad ground.
