I had a guy scan it today. One whole bank had weak injector sounds on the buzz test. He's a Ford mechanic and thinks it's a bad IDM. Anyone agree to that as a possible solution?

Also how do you test the uvch?

UVCH can be tested with a good ohm meter, best to test it from the IDM connector and work back

For anyone in the future that has similar symptoms, it was my injector driver module. Got a remanufactured one on eBay with warranty for 140.00.
