if you're in the rust belt, corrosion affects the wires the same as it does the body. check for screwy things in the wiring harness too. I have had splices turn into green powder.

542 is a junk code. Looks like you have a bad DIS. I don't see anything that would say the PCM is bad. I would clean or replace the MAF. Do you have a K&N?

Once the MAF, DIS and TPS is replaced you can see if the O2 still needs to be replaced, but might need to anyway.
