Possible Bad IDM-Code Help??

Okay, I have been having some issues under my left valve cover for a couple weeks now. So far I have changed 2 injectors, inspected the rods and rocker arms, retorqued etc. The issue is getting worse, with some misfires and overall really rough running. I took it to a shop and they pulled 15 codes. I had him write some of them down for me, and I am listing them below.

P1272
P1274
P1276
P1278
P0269
P0284
P1280
P0472
P0198
P1119
P0475

The guys at the shop said that they suspect the IDM is going bad. Is anyone familiar with these codes and do you agree with their assesment?

Thanks in advance!

Here is a code list with definitions. sounds like the drivers side is not working. have they checked for bad or loose harnesses? some of the codes are not IDM related, like the EBP sensor or EOT sensor, or even the ICP. Have them clear all the codes, run it for say a week if you can and then recheck the codes. having a shopping list of codes like that typically means somebodys been unplugging stuff to see if it gets better or worse.
