Default Check engine light - Do I have a bad MAF or something else

I've been experience mass power loss at the 3/4k range, then it comes back on. This is at WTO w/ APR chip running 91 octane program.

Finally, the engine check light came on and I found these error codes :

17863 - Exhaust Gas Temp Sensor 1 (G235): Implausible Signal

As well as :
- random missfires
- cylinder 1,2,3,5 missfires

Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Reza

Default prolly you have a bad EGT sensor ..

my car was very slow when it had a bad EGT..
it could make a chipped car(with bad EGT) = a stock car.
Bring the car to the dealer and get them replaced it for ya

Default I cleared the codes, and now have to wait for the problem to re-appear on the stock computer, but..

but how does a bad EGT sensor cause missfires?
