I re-connected the pre-cat sensors and left the post-cats disconnected. Everything is fine so I'll just leave it as-is for now. Not sure if it is worth the effort to replace them.

Thanks for the reply. I will go through your list. You are right...I don't want to spend $1500 to have them just go replace everything. I'm thinking it isn't a total loss and hoping I can fix it. ...

OK I have an update. I found a DIY on replacing the o-ring on the DISA. That cleared up 8 of my codes. Now I am down to these:

P1135

Any other suggestions?
