Really frustrated with the car...
My car runs like ****..it idles normal at startup, then starts to drop and I can feel the car is not running right. The rpms jump up and down, trying to stall out. Just pulled these codes out today:
0105 - Fuel INJ Sys Right bank:lean
0210 - Fuel INJ sys left bank:lean
0801 - Vacuum cut balve bypass valve
0302 - EGR System Hi/Low Flow
0702 - Three Way Catalyst (right bank)
So far I replaced the MAF (before car would start then die), replaced spark plugs, and got the fuel injectors cleaned at Midas. Why am I getting all these codes at once. Is one bad thing causing all the other codes? I'm taking the car to mechanic tomorrow, don't know what else to do.....please help.

can i have your 3rd gear syncronizer and spring retainers out of your tranny then? 
sorry to hear about your frustrations. I'm getting frustrated as well, not with the car, but with the idiots that send you fourth gear parts instead of 3rd gear parts.
well, i hope everything works out for you man.

I changed the fuel filter 25,000 miles ago, does it need to be changed already?
And I did clean the IACV, it was very dirty. After cleaning it, the car did idle alot better and ran smoother till now, I'm having all these problems...

The only item out of these that could cause that is your EGR valve. If it's sticking in the open position you will definately have symptoms like this especially after it's warmed up.
Check your EGR valve for proper operation, the whole system might need to be cleaned. You'll have to take the intake runners off in order to get at it. You might also look for the Vacuum cut bypass valve, if it's got something to do with your EGR valve, that could be causing your problem as well.

I bet your EGR valve is stuck open or is leaking to much exhaust back into your intake.
Do you have a Haynes shop manual? If not, I suggest you pick one up at a local book store.
