I need help diagnosing this. I'm throwing a few codes including
P1345
P0430
P0101
P0161


I honestly have no idea where to even start. But my truck has been driving like crap. It hesitates on acceleration pretty bad and makes a rattle kind of noise. Only in 3rd gear. And only when accelerating or going up hills. But if I hit the throttle real hard when I'm shifting into third I can avoid the rattling/bogging down. It's only when the rpms get low in 3rd. I just replaced all my spark plugs and spark plug wires, did an oil change, replaced my pcv valve, cleaned my MAF sensor, ran multiple bottles of techron through it. Where should I be starting with diagnosing this? Or what does the problem sound like to you guys

I am desperate here. I'm a complete newbie and I just want my truck to run the way it should

You have multiple sensors acting up obviously . Crank shaft, mass air, and one is a generic code too. Have you looked up these codes yourself yet? Weird how you have multiple going in all at once.

Hmm. Catalyst bank 2 (P0430) and bank 2 sensor 2 (P0161) codes, along with mass air (P0101) and CKP/CMP (P1345). Do you have squirrels and other rodents hanging around where you park? I'd start by doing a good visual by taking a look at your wiring harnesses and make sure nothing has been chewed up - do this first.
