2006 Nissan Altima Fuel system Problems

I have replaced the water pump, the belt, the thermostats, the rotors, the brakes, the fuel pump, the evap vent valve solenoid, the spark plugs, and fuel injectors and my car is STILL throwing the codes P-0462 and P-447. I've checked the wires and they are good. My car keeps misfiring and stalling now and my fuel pump doesn't have a fuel level sensor. The float bar is brand new as well as the fuel pump. And my dashboard speedometer is 10 miles off. I've tried everything and it's still throwing the same codes.

THE CAR SUDDENLY DIED IN TRAFFIC AND I COULDN'T GET IT TO START. I HAD TO PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND PUSH IT OUT OF THE ROAD. THE GAS GAUGE WAS READING THAT IT HAD OVER A QUARTER TANK OF GAS WHEN IT WAS ACTUALLY EMPTY. IT CAUSED MY VEHICLE TO RUN OUT OF GAS IN TRAFFIC. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND COULD HAVE CAUSED ME TO GET INTO A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. NO DAMAGE OR INJURIES OCCURRED IN THIS PARTICULAR INCIDENT, SO I DID NOT CONTACT POLICE.
