Default 2007 Mazda cx7 won't idle and dies if foot not on gas

my mazda has about 139,000 miles on it and won't idle or stay running unless I have my foot on the gas. I have had the p0200 random misfire p2177, p 2178 system too lean off idle bank 1 along with p0140 O2 Circuit no activity detected (bank 1, sensor2), p2404 evaporative system leak detections pump control circuit high, p0012 intake camshaft postion timing-over retarded bak1 and p0193 fuel rail pressure sensor high input. My car runs fine when foot on the gas but now it dies when I stop or take foot off the gas pedal. Thinking of replacing the fuel pump to correct the p019 fuel rail pressure sensor/fuel filter but not sure if that is the right thing to do with all these codes. I recently replace my purge sensor valve and the car seem to idle better but then after driving it up a canyon it started dying when stopping. Replace the purge sensor again thinking maybe it was defective but still having the same problem. changed the spark plugs, oil and filter and added sea foam to the gas. If anyone has ideas on how to figure out this issue please share.

I would start with O2 sensor no activity. that sensor is critical for air fuel mixture. Pull it and youtube how to test. other problems may be related to that. Fuel pressure too high sounds like the regulator is not releasing pressure causing evap issues.

Turn head lights on , disconnect the battery contact the positive a negitive cables togeather , walk away from the car for 20 mins this will reset the ecu and clear codes restart it , low pressure fuel is around 70 psi supply from tank pump and filter, high side is anywhere from 600psi at idle to 1250psi at 2000rpm , usally found return pressure regulator on fuel rail is kept open by a peice of varnish, twice a year I run 1.5 lts of kerosene and 2 lts of metho in a tank of fuel,
