I know i was giving a suggestion.

when i had very similar problem. engine had no power at all and it was knocking really bad.
I don't know why it was knocking. Engine sound was so weird and i felt like i blew the head gasket or something. That loose wire cause malfunction in injector circuit and i guess they were all messed up. I had random misfires in each cylinder.

I was thinking the same thing once I saw the codes. Sounds like the engine is out of timing.

Lol. I know how it is. I have a prius and getting in that after the IS is like a dose of xanax. Hope your car gets fixed soon and you don't have to pay too much.

You need to check the engine Harness.......it might be melted ,short circuit and cause such problems ..all sensors faults and low or no power too

^But he OP says the engine gives off a knocking/grinding noise; that is mechanical, not electrical.

Jaykobo

If your michanic could hear it's a mechanical noise he he can guess what make the noise!
and if it as he said girding noise it should be rotating parts..........and it's aroud the timing gears,timing chain,something related to timing parts ........it might be a loosen timing chain caused by damaged tensioner ,worn cam bearing the michanic can see all this issue by removing the cylinder head covers on the RH and LH sides and check it .
