92z28,

Usually these fault codes are caused by a wiring problem.One quick one to try is the wire leading form the knock sensor.As this is on the side og the block it could easily have become burnt or damaged.Make sure it is good condition and away from any other leads such as spark plug leads
hope this helps

The knock sensor is usually on the passenger side of the block,just above where the sump(oil pan) is bolted on.The ESC is usually found under the engine bay next to the brake servo
