Surge+Power Loss+Codes

Hi guys,

At 46K flawless miles, on the highway in Eastern Washington today with Cruise Control on, my engine surged and lost power. The Cruise either disconnected and/or the engine died (not sure because I noticed no-accelerator pedal response and shut the ignition off and coasted to the side of the road). Restarted truck and the engine surged and stumbled. High RPM on surge about 2100, low on stumble just about down to the bottom of the scale. The check engine light came on and after about 60 seconds idle smoothed out. Truck ran fine on the highway, but repeated the surge/stumble each time I started it after shut-down.

Checked codes and came up with the following in order:

PCU
P0122
P1693

ECU
P0230
P1693
P0341
P1690

Check Engine light illuminated from original fault, on.

I see a couple relate to accel. pedal position sensor and camshaft position sensor.

Ideas anyone? Please tell me this is likely to be a warranty item.

Thanks,

Jon
