Exclamation many problems

This morning my computer read this...
15 - Pre cat oxygen sensor response time cyl 4-6
76 - Throttle position sensor 1
83 - Drive by wire throttle control
84 - Drive by wire throttle control output stage
97 - Fuel injector cyl #5
C6 - Misfire fuel cut off cyl #3
EE - Misfire detected cyl #1
EF - Misfire detected cyl #2
E0 - Misfire detected cyl #3
E4 - Oxygen sensor adaptation limit cyl #1-3
E3 - Oxygen sensor adaptation limit cyl #4-6

any suggestions? I got the oxtgen sensors, I gotta change that, I changed the coils, my guess is I need to change the spark plugs, but I don't want to do that till i get my oxygen sensors and clean my injectors, or does tha not matter? Now how do I clean my injectors, or do I HAVE to buy new ones? And what is this Throttle position sensor? Drive by wire control and output gage? Im sorry I have never heard of that Should I call 911 I mean sounds to me like the car is dying

P.S. Could this be cuz i didn't change my oxygen sensors yet and keep driving the car so it causes more problems?

No- the other way around. DO NOT change the O2 sensors until the other stuff is fixed. It's what caused the O2 sensors to go bad. If you replace them first, you'll end up damaging them again. Keep working the problems until all that is left is the O2 sensor codes, then replace them.

Always find out what caused the O2 Sensor to fail and fix that before replacing the O2 Sensor itself. Especially with that list of codes something else is the primary failure.

Awesome, thank you what about those though

76 - Throttle position sensor 1
83 - Drive by wire throttle control
84 - Drive by wire throttle control output stage

whats that all about? You think its the lack of spark and dirty injectors that could do that?
