[s-cars] Stumbling along under load

S-men,

I've been messing around, done and noted the following, now unsure of the
root of the problem:
Took all blink codes currently in memory and got (in order)
2113 probably CPS
4411, 4412,4413,4414,4421 the five injectors
1111 ECU problem

I put Stabilant on all connectors and checked all ground wires.

Car is running better (about as good as a Toyota Corolla), pulling
relatively smoothly but is lacking power.  Boost levels seem to max out at
1.3 bar whereas before I would get 2.1+.
Car sometimes hesitates on start up and when blipping the throttle from
idle.

BTW I notice my ECU has been tampered with (carpet has been cut).  Didn't
notice before because I always thought it was on the right side of the foot
well and the boost levels seemed stock equivalent (and been avoiding the
slippery slope)

A couple of questions:
1. Do the blink codes show the most recent problem first?
2.  I plan on pulling the fuse, S26 on top of the ECU to clear the fault
codes.  Any thing I should know about this?  SJM site indicates this will
clear learned fuel mixture and ignition timing.  Is this a problem?
3.Comments, suggestions.

Always appreciative,
Bob
