While I almost narrowed down to my ETM being bad, the check engine light came on yesterday
I scanned for codes and got
P0455
P0440
P0446
evap emission codes leaks..
After erasing these codes car behaves weird idles at 1500rpm sometimes and sometimes barely stalling the message reads :
Also car goes into limp mode, if I restart it its fine but goes to limp mode eventually
Are these codes effect the idle or my ETM is just shot?
Any ideas? Thanks for any input

Most likely unrelated I should think.

Are you planning on doing the ETM soon?

So you've installed the xemodex recently?

The evap codes will not cause a poor running condition, unless something unusual is happening like the evap valve is stuck open and your a topper upper, so the charcoal canister is filled with raw fuel and it's being sucked into the intake.

Edit: I'd start looking for an evap leak, likely at the J hose that comes out of the charcoal canister.

Replaced the purge valve so far no codes.
