Default Engine Problems

Need the experts, cars has been running terrible, throwing a code 43, 42 and I think a 32. prior to warming up engines great after loop closes, engines has no spunk and it sounds like a terrible miss. At first I thought EGR valve and Knock sensors and the ESC, but it seems to co-incidental that this all occured at the same time. Should I replace the ECM? Thoughts are greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Rocky :flag :confused:

43( knock sensor) and 42( esc to ecm signal) are likely related , but are probably due to an esc malfunction. not sure on all the t/shooting steps , so hang out and see what the experts say.
32 is an egr malfunction. usually this is the thermo switch, but can be the egr valve itself among other things.

It seems no one has any thoughts, but is there any specific thing I should look for to narrow this issue down. :cuss
