Wow, hope you didn't pay too much for that car. Here is a reference for all of your codes. From what I can tell, you need a new front o2 sensor first off. Clear all of your other codes and see which ones come back. 322 in socket A1 is a BIG problem if it comes back after cleared. It indicates incorrect gear ratio in the transmission, which means your transmission doesn't have a whole lot longer to live.
