Should l feel sick to my stomach .. or Somebody please say its going to be ok lol..

Could be fuel filter/fuel lines.

Or you may need a tuneup?

If this happened somewhat gradually, like over the course of a few days, I'd say it sounds like ur catalytic converter is clogging.

The TPS (throttle position sensor) & MAF sensor should be relatively easy to replace yourself. l do not know about the cam sensor.

But those things may all be out of bounds because of u having to mash the gas so hard to try to get up hills. Replace the cat first & foremost, see if the codes change after a couple of days' driving.

=so what is the latest update ??
