Default Hard start & dying issues.

My 99 C5 is having issues with staying running. We drove it to a friends house the other day and just died in the driveway. Car would not fire. The next day it starts, but it's very hard. When I rev it up it acts like it wants to die. It gets as close to dying as it can get, sometimes actually dying. We were thinking it may have something to do with the TPS but before we rip it apart were looking for anything else it could be. We aren't going to try to drive it without getting this issue fixed.

We disconnected the battery and checked all the fuses so there are a few codes that are having to do with that.

Codes: B2283, B2285, B2263, B2265, U1064, U1096, B0851, B0856, U1255, U1016, C2120, PO300H, B0502H, B0503, B0507, B0508, B2482, B2483, B1001, B2282, B2284

Any help would be appreciated.

So you did pull and load test the battery, right? Nothing here suggests a problem with the TPS. Most if not all those codes can be battery related.

Start by testing the battery. Also, I would clear all of those codes after reinstalling the battery then pull them again to see what comes back.

Battery is the cheapest place to start.

U1064, U1096, U1016 are the only codes after resetting them. The battery was tested and in working order.

Still running rough. Smells of gas and acts flooded after it dies...
