Engine Torque Signal 01166 / Engine Control Module 01314 / P1570-35-10 Intermittent

01166 - Engine Torque Signal
03-10 - No Signal - Intermittent
01314 - Engine Control Module
49-10 - No Communications - Intermittent
01166 - Engine Torque Signal
16-10 - Signal Outside Specifications - Intermittent

I'm wondering if these codes might be related to the transmission clunkiness that seems to have increased lately.

I also read that the torque signal comes from the air flow meter and that could be faulty, or the 109 relay, or battery (which is recent)

Also have:

17978 - Engine Start Blocked by Immobilizer
P1570 - 35-10 - - Intermittent

Could this be related to recent hot starting problems?

Any thoughts?
