you have a problem with either the throttle body, or the TP sensor on the pedal. have you done the "pedal mod"? if so, i'd get a diff. pedal sensor assembly. if not. a trip to the dealer is in order..

the p2106, p2135 codes mean that the positions derived from the TP sensors are off by a set amount.

the p151a is a intake manifold runner controller performance.circuit open, binding linkage, damaged IMRC actuator.

if you want to diag this yourself, clear the codes, run the car, and determine the first code that sets, that problem is likely covering the others. lets not worry about evap for now.

I would like to do this myself. I highly doubt the dealer is going to do warranty work on a car with nitrous. I will reset the codes and see what pops up first.

make sure you are set up to datalog with the xcal2, you're gonna need to look at values according to the Ford pinpoint test.

I will look into posting that link for the DTC codes at the top of the 4.6L section or something. Thanks for the link and the PM Randy......J

A couple of things I would consider checking...
1. Make sure your MAF sensor is pointing the right way in the housing.
2. Where you tapped the signal for the WOT switch on the nitrous kit, make sure the connection is solid.

MAF isn't the problem. but, if the WOT switch is tapped into the factory wiring, that could definiately cause this problem.

Thhe DTC codes are from Odiazs site, which is part of the One Stop Shop sticky that is in the INFO sticky at the top of the main s197 board.
