Ok, so it's been having an occasional problem starting for a while. Quite the majority of the time, it starts just fine. But then once in a while it doesn't want to start, acting like it is being hard to turn over. Let it sit for a minute and it starts normal. Once, while this was happening, I pulled the fuel pump relay to see how it would turn. It turned normal, Plugged it back in, it didn't want to start. Let it sit for a minute and it was fine. It has only run rough once having to drive twenty miles going in 3rd and 4th, driving slow because of slick roads.
Thinking it was an injector problem, maybe one flooding a cylinder and causing too much compression, I pulled the injectors and cleaned them using a box that actuated them while in an ultra-sound tank and then flushing carb cleaner thru.
The CEL has been on more, so I got the codes.

Most I've gotten before was just with the EGR and haven't gotten around to addressing it. But now that's a lot of codes. Where do I begin?
