codes
#2
Before you buy the store out with a lot of parts you may not need consider trying a few things first. How about you provide a little more info like;
what kind of work if any was recently (a month or so) done to the vehicle?
It is important to know this because some of those codes seem to indicate some basic stuff .

Did you get any maintenance history with the vehicle?
If not, I would suggest you make a copy of those codes for reference, then remove the battery negative cable from the battery and hold that cable end on the positive battery cable for a few minutes. It may or may not erase the codes, but will hopefully clear any gremlins you got with the car.Then drive it some to allow to stabilize itself and set any codes and see what you get. Some of those codes could have been from previous work. What do you think?

Being a 1996 with probably a ton of miles, I would log all of the codes as stated by "hanky", then start with some basic maintenance stuff. After all, it will probably need done anyways:
1. Replace plugs (already done), wires and coils.
2. Replace fuel filter.
3. Change oil, filter, air filter.
4. Clean MAF sensor, throttle body and IAC.
6. Have all codes cleared, rescan to verify codes cleared and drive for at least 100 miles so that all systems set to "Ready" and to relearn your driving habits.
