Check Engine Light - Please Help!

Hi guys!

I replaced the valve cover gaskets on both banks of the cylinders since they were leaking. After I put everything back together, I got very rough idling with an illuminated check engine light.

I pulled the codes and got the following:

P2007-008 B28 Pressure Sensor - Signal Implausible
P20D4 The load circuit is active
P202B-002 Idle Speed Control Implausible
- Short circuit to ground or open circuit
P20A2 Idle Speed Control Implausible
- Check system for unmetered air

I'm at a lost. What could this be? I checked all the lines and fittings and everything is fine.

The first 2 codes, i have a feeling were in the ME before. The last 2 cause a check engine light for a vaccum leak. Also, these can be caused by an oil fill cap being left loose or off. Check the black rubber breather hoses from the valve covers to the throttle body for cracking or installation errors(not reconnected).

+1 on the CC vent hose,

How did you remove the plug wires? If you did not use the 17mm wrench method some wires could have been damaged. Recheck the coil wires too.

I've had the pressure sensor problem before as well. I took it to the dealer, and they blamed the renntech mods, so they wouldnt fix it. They said the signal was implausable meaning there was more pressure than normal, which is the crank pulley's fault.

Renntech claims its a faulty sensor, so who knows. The code was erased and I paid $150 for the diagnosis since it was deemed a non warranty issue.

I just a check engine again today, and I hooked it up to the auto inginuity scanner, and it showed something similar. I forgot the code, but it said pressure sensor, so I assumed it was the same. I just cleared it and left it be since it doesnt seem to be affecting anything.
