Default HELP!!! New Owner Trouble

First off , i will like to say i have my questions on what is , but i want a more outlook on what to look for or to show anyone else having this problem.
LEMME GIVE YA THE SITUATION
First it was around 6pm with a very low winds at a crisp 78 Fahrenheit , i went to drive my car to a carwash over atleast 4-10 miles given i had to go back home to get my wallet lmao.
I went to wash my car for about an hour , and even moved the car again out the carwash so i could dry it. While I dried it , i had no problems on my car breaking at the time , not even a weird noise or even a check engine light.
After awhile i then turned on my car so i can leave the carwash and would you know it ! (CHECK ENGINE LIGHT , TCS OFF , SLIP) lights were detected.
I immediately thinking i may have turned it off when putting gas so i tried pushing the TCS Button and it still was off , so i tried driving , man it literally went to 10mph and i had my foot all the way down to the floor.
The Codes i ended up getting were:
P2122
P21127
C1131
P1705

NOWWW before i get yelled at by many people, i believe it could be both the APP Sensors , giving that we have two codes which will also make the P1705 code go off because the TCM doesn't read anything from the APP Sensors, so if anything its one of my APP Sensors Giving the fact that also this car is the base model , and was treated like absolute garbage before me , there's no skid plates , no mud fenders , not even fender liners. I also been driving the car on a small EVAP leak that hasn't came off in awhile and have leaking oil somewhere by the dipstick
Again i didn't come here to get yelled at by people who probably only did a couple things on their car but instead some insight on what to do going forward. For right now i currently am studying for this stuff so ill try diagnoses of electrical values and base my knowledge off that.
Feel free to ask questions or pictures , ill be willing to ask or give them.

sounds like you had a bad experience on another forum. The best way to ask for advice here is to just state all of the facts and share photos if applicable. looks like that first error code is related to the throttle position sensor. this procedure to reset it might work and it's worth a try at least:

350z Reset proceedure (Pedal Dance)
Make sure that accelerator pedal is fully released.
Turn ignition switch ON and wait at least 2 seconds.
Turn ignition switch OFF and wait at least 10 seconds.
Turn ignition switch ON and wait at least 2 seconds.
Turn ignition switch OFF and wait at least 10 seconds.

another suggestion I always make when your car has trouble like this, unplug the battery negative cable, wait about 30 seconds, then plug it back in. this erases subsequent error codes that may not even come up, which are a Cascade result of usually the first error.

I had a bad camshaft position sensor error one time and reset the ECU in this manner, and it didn't come back for a year. at that point I did replace the two camshaft position sensors which was easy and fairly cheap.

you might have to replace a sensor or two. I've never come across the throttle position sensor problem that you're having but searching for the error code gives you a quick idea of what's going wrong.

Hello i have the same problem and i’ve done all of those steps repeatedly and still no fix to it, i’ve changed all 4 cam sensors on my HR, and both TBs. I’m getting a code c1131 by any chance could this be what’s causing my car go into limp while parked or driving? i’ve checked my brake fluid it’s good and up to date the wiring issue that i could have is on the maf sensors but no issue on it.

have you checked the speed sensors? those are on all four wheels. those sensors affect the traction control and ABS systems.
