Default Man, I need help BAD !!

Please, Can someone help me?
The last time I drove my '88 was 2 weeks ago. She ran great. I put it in the garage, cleaned it up and went inside. Next morning I go to start it and it won't run!. as soon as I put the key in, the fan started running. When it did kinda run, very bad, for about 45 sec., lights on the dash were going crazy! Even shift light. I have an auto ! I ran the codes and came up with a code 22,32,and42. I don't get it? it was fine when I parked it. I'm really in a bind. I live in the middle of nowhere so there is not even a shop around here!
Thanks guys!!!

Try and solve the codes starting with the lowest number first. Check the connection x2 and make sure the wires are in good shape. Follow the FSM code troubleshooting steps to solve this. Sounds odd that all this happened out of the blue. Work on it and see what you come up with.

With the TPS, EGR and EST codes like that its probably going to be a loose ground or a short somewhere. Check the connections at the ECM to make sure they are all nice and tight. Clear the codes and try again, and see which ones you get straight up.
