Have you scanned the code to see what it is? That would help us diagnose the problem.

Holy cow..

15:Coolant Sensor Circuit
18:Cam/Crank Error
21:Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) Signal Voltage High
22:Throttle Position Sensor Circuit (Signal Voltage Low)
31:PRNDL Switch Circuit
34:Mass Air Flow Sensor (MAF) Circuit
42:Electronic Spark Timing (EST) Circuit
57:Boost Control Problem
58:Security System (Fuel Enable Circuit)
66:Low A/C Refrigerant Charge

I'm going to say a possible electrical issue. Check ground busses and battery cables for corrosion. One of the gear heads should be in here soon to give you a better answer.

If you have the ability, I would also try clearing all those codes then checking it again after a drive to see what comes back.

I believe if you disconnect your battery for a while it should clear the codes. Something like 15 minutes should do the trick.
