Hello.
The error code PO405 = EGR, ( Exhaust Gas Recirculation ), sensor A circuit low input.

What the EGR does;
EGR = Exhaust Gas Recirculation system
Recycles small amounts of exhaust gas from exhaust system, 8 to 10 %, and mixes it with intake manifold air going into the combustion chambers. The addition of this inert, or non-combustable exhaust gas limits the peak combustion temperatures to a range that is below 2,500 degrees F, where the formation of nitrogen oxide, ( NOx ), is known to occur.

Here's a picture of an EGR valve to help you locate yourserroe code po405 on my - em1cl_1.jpg
You may find that you just have a lose hose, or you may have a small vacuum leak.

I hope this helps you.
Donnie

PO122 and PO405 engine codes

Code 122 is for a low signal coming from the TPS. Since you have replaced the sensor, the problem may be in the wiring harness. The signal would need to be checked.
Code 405 is also a low signal coming from the EGR valve. Same thing, you need to check the signal with a scanner or volt meter.
And when the computer is not getting an acceptable reading from the TPS it uses a known good signal to bypass the sensor which will cause the idle speed and shifting problems. The computer does not know when you open the throttle.

2001 Isuzu Trooper PO405 code

The throttle body is coated with a sludge resistant material. If you cleaned it all out you are actually hurting your engines performance, because the throttle body resists sludge which in turn protects your throttle plate and bore. You may want to check your egr vacuum regulator, for the cause of your problem.
