Default Possible PCM Failure

Vehicle is a 94 F150 5.8 L E40D 4x4

After the weather suddenly got colder the engine would randomly surge. Over night it progressively got worse.

The engine will barely idle and has a very strong rich fuel smell. I checked the timing and firing order. Checked the spark plug wires for looseness. The cap and rotor were Replace due to corrosion.

I pulled codes and received the following:
117 638 126 122 112 327 654 513 553 552 565 556.

The most worrisome is 513 indicating a PCM internal voltage fault. I doubt all these sensors have gone bad at the same time. I suspected a voltage or power supply issue but don't know where to begin.

Any ideas?

Check the Battery voltage (12.6-12.9 vdc), Alternator voltage (13.8-14.4 vdc), and the Computer reference voltage (5.0 vdc). Your readings should be within 10% of those.
