Default engine problems

ok first off..i would like to say that the search function on this website sucks my ***!!!! Every time i search for something it comes up with no results. OK with that monkey off my back, on to the problems. I just got my car running and it runs like total crap. Its throwing codes 3map(intermittantly), 6 ect, 7 tps, and 10. Andi am having a hell of a time getting all the vaccum lines to go to the right places. Please post any thoughts on where I should begin first or any quick fixes that i could do. The car has absolutely NO power at all when driven.

well i just put in new plugs, wires, oil, and coolant. Also I rotated my dizzy toward the opposite end (firewall) and that made a world of difference. But it still runs like doo doo. not sure how to check the fuel and i need to check the compression still.
