Difficult to understand your post in the 2nd part. What were the codes you got the 2nd time?
 






Those codes indicate that air is getting in past the MAF. Normaly its the intake gaskets. Check for loose or broken vac lines, missing caps etc... If they all look good then replace the intake gaskets. They cost about $30 from the dealer and take someone with reasonable ability about 1 to 1.5 hours to do. I would recomend getting a manual with the diagrams to assist you.
