Factory O2 sensors are about $150 and a universal splice-in Bosch sensor is about $70. The MAF I'm not sure (check www.ecstuning.com). Both are definite DIY fixes.

p1196 O2 Sensor heater circuit electrical malfunction (Bank1 Sensor1)
P1426 Tank Vent Valve Oopen
P0134 O2 Sensor CKT no activity (Bank1 Sensor1)

You've got a fume leak on your fuel system (may just be the gas cap), and your primary O2 sensor is dead (it's not heating up as it needs to, or sending signals, in order to reliably send info to the ECU). Reseal the gas cap, change the pre-cat O2 sensor, clear the codes, and see what happens.

how do i reseal the gas cap? can it be something connected with getting the fuel level sending unit done? because i had to open the thing in the trunk
and is there a DIY for changing the pre-cat O2 sensor?

dude for the front o2 sensor just trace the wire unplug it and pull the wire so its freed up (may have to cut some zipties) and get a wrench and take it out its not hard at all ive taken mine out and replaced them alot since i have a test pipe i tend to eat o2 sensors about once a year for some reason
