12 means it is in diagnostic mode
33 MAP or MASS AIR flow sensors
35 Idle air speed motor
45 is rich exhaust.

Check all the wires on the MAP/MAF device. Make sure the they are connected well. Check the ground points. You can unplug the connection with the car running to see if the engine smoothes out. IF it does then it probably needs new sensors.
The idle air speed is the same thing. Check the wires. Remove it from the manifold and make sure it is clean. Put it back on.
The oxygen sensors have a fixed lifespan and you should think of them like a light bulb. They get worn out about 60000 miles. Short life if they are subject to fuel addatives.

Code 22and 34

Code 22 is Throttle position sensor was under 0.25 volts for 4 seconds after ignition was on. Code 34 is map sensor voltage was too low for 1 second under 600rpm or over 600rpm. A tps must be set with a voltage meter or scan tool for correct operation. Check the map sensor vacuum hose for leaks.
