Grant:
 Is your car running OK?  The 214 is the camshaft sensor and usually causes
hard starting and some random engine problems. The 212-loss of ignition
Diagnostic Monitor input to the ECA/ SPOUT Grounded. Maybe the DIS module?
172,173 is just the rear O2 sensor. You might have oil in the plug wells on
the back cylinders. I would pull a wire and see if it's wet.  I would change
both O2 sensors anyway unless you know how many miles are on them.

332 is the EGR. I think ALL ATX SHO's get plugged up eventually. The EGR
passages get plugged with carbon and need to be reamed out. Also check the
rubber hoses going to the silver box bolted to the back of the intake. This
is the DPFE. Sometimes with age these hoses get holes or break. A real
common blockage point are the "nostrils" behind the throttle body. Take off
the TB and in each side of the intake tunnels on the bottom will be a 1/4"
hole. This is the EGR passage and it must be clear to the port where the EGR
valve hooks up.

 Clear the codes first and see what returns. Are you getting a check engine
light?
