Check for codes
Fuel pressure (failing fuel pump?)
Make sure everything is up to spec (Tune up)
Clean your MAF sensor thermistor wires (I think they are called) (CAREFULLY with Qtips and electronics cleaner)
O2 sesnors failing giving bad info to your computer

Any mods to the car?Cam,aftermarket MAF??

Just some ideas man..

There's a product at autozone that will clean it without risking damage to the screen and wires. I think CRC makes it. It's specifically called MAF cleaner. NOT CARB CLEANER

If you can't find the the cleaner Thub is talking about,my brother used normal alcohol on a Qtip and carefully cleaned the wires...

He was having a surging/"slugging"/sometimes rough idle,this fixed it up...

lol those three codes are pretty much the dealbreakers of driving. Sounds like the MAF should be cleaned and the front o2's need to be replaced.

k i drove to wal mart. on the way it drove wonderfully but on the way back it bogged from a light an was surging slightly. i guess i need to figure something out about some o2 sensors. is there anyway to clean them for a temp fix. it should be just burning the carbon right???

NOOOO don't try to clean them!!
That surging/bucking is not from your O2 sensors so leave them alone until you can have them tested or replaced.
Your MAF should be tested first by someone with knowhow, unless you can afford to replace it and not have it be the problem. However, on a lighter note, a bad MAF can definitely trigger your other two codes. So, you may not need to replace your O2's. And if anybody tells you they've cleaned their O2's and it worked like a charm, well good for them, CAREFULLY cleaning your MAF is ok if there is heavy buildup of some sort on it. Good Luck.
