Why is my 2004 Ford F150 (5.4L 3V Triton Engine) throwing the following codes: P0022, P0171, and P0355?


I know why it's throwing the P0022 code and it's due to the infamous cam phaser tick, but I'm mainly concerned with the misfire in cylinder 5. The latter two codes happened after replacing spark plugs and ignition coils. Overall I have done the following in the past 30 days: replaced fuel filter, fuel drive pump module (by spare tire), all spark plugs (Motorcraft SP515), all ignition coils (Accel), cam position sensors, VCT solenoids ("upgraded" Ford version), cleaned throttle body and MAF sensor. Now as for troubleshooting regarding cylinder 5 I switched fuel injector, ignition coil pack, AND spark plug (all at different times of course) and the code would NOT follow. I don't hear any vacuum leaks and I used a noid test kit to determine it's not the wiring harness for the fuel injector and ignition coil. IMO it could only be a clogged cat or a bad PCM… My truck has 152K miles. If you need to know anything else, just ask. Thanks!
