Ok, now that we have the whole alternator issue cleared up.. lol
What should I do about my car? I made the mistake in thinking it was the MAF sensor. That code came up because I had taken it off and tried running the car as suggested to me. So I'm going to clear that code and try again.
I still need help in figuring out what to do. Could the alternator still be the issue?
I have about three weeks to clear this issue up before I have to head back to school. :s

Update:
Here's the most current situation:
1. I've checked to make sure the battery is properly connected and cleaned the terminals and wires.
2. I put the MAF back on and ran the car for a little bit.
3. Checked for codes - No Code came up
4. After sitting in the car with my foot on the gas, I let off the gas and the car stopped running as it has been doing. When it stopped running, the battery light, oil light, and check engine light were all lit up. Does that tell me anything? In addition to that the "Arrow" light came which I assume means something with the transmission.
5. I Just just checked the alternator and it's doing just what it should be.
Suggestions? Fuel pump not putting out right? Clogged up vacuum hose?

Issue has been resolved.
Turns out the engine had to 'relearn' how to do what it's supposed to. It's idling normally now.
God figure it's something simple like that.
Thanks for everyone's help.
