for code 26 check fuel pressure with a gauge auto parts rent it. also check vacuum leaks.maybe reason one flap closed on airbox. code 42 is a vehicle speed sensor problem. have a pro check this because it has to be checked for a bad ecu

check your battery for condition including load test may be bad. autoparts do for free. make sure terminals are clean and all fuses are good. Otherwise let a pro look at it.
