173/179 are telling the same thing.
You either still have a vacuum leak, a fuel regulator that has gone bad or leaking injectors. Check fuel pressure and for gas coming out of the regulator thru the vacuum line to the manifold.
327 is an EGR control circuit failure.
522 is fuel pump monitor circuit failure.

Work on the fuel problem first then the EGR.
The last one won't cause a problem unless you think the pump ciruit is in trouble.
The fuel pump runs or the engine would not run at all.
Good luck.
