Many codes, few problems?
2006 SS (2.4L), all stock, 145k miles.
I'm getting 4 codes on it at the moment, and I'm trying to fix it with as little time and money as possible so I can clear my emissions test -_-
p0121 (TPS)
p0171 (Too lean, bank 1)
p0301 (cyl 1 misfire)
p1174 (fuel trim balance)
I was going to clean the MAF, but it still looks brand new (it was replaced during a tune-up at approx 110k mi.). Checked all the wiring for loose connections and/or exposures and all looks good there too. Now I'm on to replacement parts and trying to figure what my most likely culprits are for the set of codes I got. I figure I at least have to replace the throttle body, since as I understand I can't replace just the TPS in it, and I figure I'd need to replace the fuel injectors (after all, they got 145k miles on them, and the spark plugs only have about 35k). Would those two repairs possibly cover all the codes I have, or is something like the p0301 going to mean a new plug or coil still?
And for what it's worth, the symptoms I'm getting are somewhat rough idle and occasional loss of power when accelerating.

Thanks, Snail.
I did check the TB wires already, so I figure a replacement is my only option there (unless a "rebuild kit" exists somewhere). I wasn't sure what the chances of a plug going bad so soon were (Bosch premium plug at that), or if the misfire would more often be due a bad coil or injector at that point.
