p1349 and po120 are where your problem is. Do not drive the car. I'm thinking you need to have your timing checked and most likely have a throttle body issue. You may be better off just getting a used one but see what a mechanic says. Or get on my.is and start a thread so Jason can give you more info

Reset the codes, and then wait for the CEL to come back again. Then, post the first code that comes up. Obviously all of the codes you have right now are not accurate, when one cel comes up it can lead to other readings to be false which ends up giving you multiple codes.
