So the short version - I have confirmed squirrel chewing damage to my Rover. So far, I have shot three squirrels (it wasn't a waste, we ate them), spent three hours soldering in new wires in the wiring harness that comes up the front right shock tower to the under the hood fuse block, replaced the lower radiator hose due to a chew-induced leak and repaired two wires at one of the connectors at the fuse box. I could specifically ID the wires if needed. It's all separate instances so it's not like there is a shock and awe attack on the truck. It's just a subtle attack. As I type this, there is a 8 week old straight up alley cat in a crate in my office waiting to get over her surgery from yesterday so she can take care of business in the yard for me. 
More importantly, the truck has started not wanting to idle when cold. If I feather the throttle to warm it up, all is well. However, the tach quit working too. I suspected it was the alternator - it had a little noise in the bearing so I had it rebuilt. Also replaced the battery. Still no tach.
I have looked all over for more wire damage but no luck yet. Here are the codes I read this morning at the box store.
P1884
P1551
P0327
P0102
I have read up on these on the forum but wanted to bounce it off of everyone for the wisdom of the crowd. Also..The CPS is only a couple years old and <20k miles on it but maybe it's bad again?
Another lingering issue, the ABS codes are unrelated as they showed up after I did the shocks and coils so I suspect I may have a legit bad FR sensor. Those codes are
Logged Faults:
044:Front Right sensor output low
081:Brake light relay short to supply
Front Right Sensor Bad Output
064:Front Right sensor electric fail
(from the ABS Tool as you can see) If you think it isn't the FR sensor, please advise otherwise.
As always....thanks...
