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.

Ok.. tested the gas while starting: no difference. Air filter and oil are all good. I guess everything else begins maņana.
