I'm hoping the 1st one doesn't mean it's time for a timing belt change and it's just a sensor. I'm at 122k miles. 2013 PP, zero mods

Let's hope so-chain not belt. ---And you might as well do a s-ton of other stuff if you actually do have to remove the chain. Like whole timing set and waterpump.

You should look for a throttle body cleaning procedure to see if there is a way to not have to replace it.

p0016 is almost always due to a stretched chain. Do you hear a slight rattle on cold start-up? Mine had to be replaced at about 90k miles.

check for loose pins on the solenoid connectors, has caused these codes to pop.

but most likely, with a 10 year old vehicle, it is the timing system + water pump looming.

And he is right if it's a timing chain issue you might as well replace everything that's behind that cover.

Yeah, as Majestic suggested, there is a discernable rattle on cold start, so it's probably the timing chain ..... Oh joy

Well from having my interceptors done and my F-150 Ecoboost it was $1,900 of joyous pain.

Was that $1900 parts AND labor or just parts and you did the work yourself?
No I left it to the dealer,, didn't have time to do myself, but you do get a 3yr 36,000 mile warranty if they do the work.

Wow, $1900 is reasonable. I've been seeing quotes for like $4-4.5K :(
Parts are cheap, but a real pain because of location. I would have done them myself but I'm getting old and my hands are tired. Price has probably gone up because of inflation. What saved both my engines was the pump did what it was supposed to do and leaked out the weep hole.
