MAP sensor is the main problem, it is what determins engine load so if that is out of range your car probably isn't running all that nice and fuel economy would be poor. From memory it is located on the firewass on the passenger side. Check for loose vacuum lines before replacing.

The code relating to the HEGO could be because of the MAP fault or it could be faulty as well. I would fix the MAP then run it for a bit before checking the codes again. HEGO is the sensor in the exaust which reads how rick/lean the engien is running.
