First off, do you try pressing the gas pedal when you start the car?

If you have the time and want to save the money, I'd start off with all the common and easy stuff and try to build my way up from that. Then maybe take it to a mechanic.

Reset the car's computer by disconnecting the battery for a few minutes, then try starting it up again and see if it gives you the same codes
Check the oil, air filter, IACV, MAF, PCV, and spark plugs
Clean out the throttle body and carburetor, checking all the components around them in the process
Replace the coils, oxygen sensors, and maybe the MAF. They're designed to wear out anyway.
