sorry it took a while to get back to all of you (Steve,Whiplash15,Budpytko). But I was able to get someone with a brain to page down the scanner to get all the codes. They are:
P0500-veh speed sensor A malfunction,
P294E-fuel/air metering aux emission controls,
P0444-evap emission control system purge valve C open
P04B9-aux emission controls.
What if anything can be done to correct these and where the H are these parts located. Or should I crush the car and make it a floor lamp
 
In my experience with multiple codes, you need to clear the codes and monitor to see which one comes back first. Be aware you do not have to wait for the check engine light to come on to check for codes.
 
The first code back was P294E-fuel/air metering aux emission control
The second was P048B-Exhaust gas pressure I think its pointing to the egr valve but I'm not sure.
 
Clean your MAF sensor's wires first. You will need a t20 anti tamper proof torx bit (just has a small hole in the middle of the bit) and take the MAF out of the housing. Then use a Q tip and some alchohol and clean the 2 small, little wires. Be gentle with them. Unhook the Negative battery cable for 10 minutes, then hook it back up, then go for a drive and see what happens. Also check your gas cap to make sure it's tight. Do the free and easy stuff first!!! MAF's, when they get dirty usually throw P0174 AND P0171, but i'd try that first. It's most likely an EVAP leak (IE, Gas cap or EGR, or maybe a vacuum leak in and or around the EVAP Canister)
