If it's not the pump, it's the wiring TO the pump. And the #3 injector.

Inspect the wiring from the pump to the ECU. A connector may be loose or something may have chewed through the wires.

IF you have a Tuning Box check it and the wiring as above post. All those codes are from the electronics of the pump.
