Chill out CoCo. There really isn't a definitive answer to the codes.
Ouch, ok, I was trying to save the guy from future grief, as more often than not, you'll see "do a search" or "read more" as an answer when questions are proposed like that:hug:

The info i read had said the vanes in the turbo could be stuck or not opening all the way. I also read that vane position sensor is failing or is not working properly. Some people are saying they have symphtoms and me being new i cant pin point them cause the engine light has been on since i bought the truck. Others that are throwing the same codes say they have loss of power until engine temp reads 170. I idle my truck in the morning for 10 mins to warm up. It reads 100 when i leave. If i drive it hard sometimes the light turns off but will turn back on. I just pulled the sensor and the plunger seems to depress just fine. There was a little black stuff on it but i cleaned it with brake cleaner and sprayed WD in the electical side. Are the turbo vanes suppose to open and close during a cold start idle? In my exhaust i can hear it hiss then stop, but only once inawhile. Dont beat me up to bad, im new.
Sometimes they don't open because of the sensor, codes can be tough, they don't always pin point the issue, sometimes because the vanes are all sooted up and sticking, others cuz the vanes themselves fail, typically it's the first two, iirc there is a way to test the solenoid, I don't know how tho
Hmm, if driving it hard causes the light to go off, I almost wonder if the vanes are sooted up and sticking...just may be time to pull the turbo and inspect them, delete the egr or block it and see how that treats ya...
Good luck :hug:
