Answer
It looks like it's a code 22 and a 25, the first is a water temperature sender fault and the second a oxygen sensor fault. Make sure that it's not low on coolant, these engines were prone to leaking headgaskets. Before doing anything else I would make sure that the headgasket is ok, there are inexpensive test kits available at most autoparts stores, just follow the instructions. A leaking headgasket that emits coolant into the exhaust will cause a code 25/26.
