Default '86 Trouble Codes

I just recently replaced all of the gaskets for my intake and my valve cover gaskets. After getting everything back together and setting the timing to 8* the car is idling around 1100rpm really poorly with a lot of surging. The TPS is reading about 5V. I pulled the codes and it threw 15, 22, 33, and 42. I know 33 is MAF and 42 is EST. Anyone know what the other two are or have any suggestions? Thanks for any help guys.

15 = coolant sensor circuit
22 = TPS circuit....low voltage
33 = Mass Air Flow
42 = Electronic Spark Timing. - have to reset computer after you time it.

Awesome, thanks for the response. I'll double check the TPS voltage and I guess replace the two MAF relays for code 33. I saw on another thread that that is the first think you should do. Sure hope that gets rid of the MAF code...

Code 15 will make it run like crap, start there and work your way up the codes. Actually, so will 22 and 33.

Oh nice info. Thanks agent86. The connector to the coolant temp. sensor is all fudged up so that could be my problem. Well...one of them...
