Default Help with codes? One isn't even listed....

My car is throwing these codes, in this order:

P1684- Driver 5 Line 4
P0122- Throttle Postion Sensor Circuit Low Voltage
P0123- Throttle Postion Sensor Circuit High Voltage
P0108- Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) Sensor Circuit High Voltage
P1297- Not listed on this site
P0121- Throttle Position Sensor Circuit Insuffiecient Activity
P0137- HO2SCircuit Low Voltge Bank 1 Sensor 2

My car won't start most of the time, but when it does, it won't idle. I have to continually give it gas to stay on and a lot of gray and white smoke is coming from the engine bay and exhaust. But mainly, just some help figuring out what these codes mean would be nice. I couldn't find the 5th one and the rest just confuse me; it's like they contradict themselves. Thanks for any help.

Lmao, why don't you just take it to a shop or a dealership??? With all those codes and supposedly gray and white smoke, you'd be lucky if your car doesnt completely die in like a month. Theres a ton of stuff I could tell you, and a ton of stuff everyone else could tell you. But dont you think it would be easier just to take the car somewhere to get looked at?

i was throwing similar codes to that a while back but no smoke, all i did was check the connections to the ecu and one of them was loose, i'm not sure how it came loose but i put it back snugly and made sure it was connected right, reset the ecu, and haven't had those weird unlisted codes again.

I took it to a shop to fix a bent tie rod and it ran fine all day. It rained that night and the next morning, all the smoke, no starting, and CEL showed up.

Okay. You ask for help on a code you couldn't find. Have your friend from the FORD dealer hook up the super star tester and ck you baro pressure ( map sensor ) If you know what your baro pressure is, that will tell you are out of specs and need a new map sensor. If its in specs then replace the TPS. The baro pressure here 29.9 hg.
