'02 E430 engine codes and 100k maintenance

My 2002 E430 has 105k miles and generally runs great. I have had the car serviced at dealer through first 75k miles and now at indy.
The CEL light came on and got the following codes: P0400 P0123 P0134 P0154.

For the P0400 code I'm going to attempt the "ohlord" procedure if I can get some clarification as to where to drill the hole.

For the P0123 code should I to try to clean it? Or is it just time to replace?

On about 3 or 4 different occasions in the past 2 years the car failed to accelerate. I reset the transmission by stepping on gas pedal for a minute and then turning car on. That's worked every time.

The P0134 and P0154 codes refer to the oxygen sensors.
I've read that the non-acceleration and the oxygen sensor fault codes could be due to a bad CPS.
The car runs great and my wife really loves the styling, designo espresso edition, and have no qualms about ordering all these sensors from Autohausz, about $550, ouch!

Besides the fluid changes and spark plug replacement, any other times you guys recommend also taken care of?

Thank you guys in advance!

I would probably do the O2 sensors after resolving the EGR and throttle position sensor problems, but check Amazon for prices on them. You can do better than $400.
