So here is what I found:

I stopped at autozone one night and picked up a bottle of dry gas and some seafoam. I got home and emptied the "heet" brand dry gas into about a half tank and let it sit over night. The next morning it was extremely hard to get it running. It was about 8 degrees out. I got it started after about 10 minutes of cranking it. It hasn't messed up on me since (well, other than the engine temp not regulating right...running too cold, heater blowing cold...stuck thermostat?) I split the seafoam between the tank and crank this morning when I filled it back up. I'm thinking that either the tank had some water in it or the station that I filled up at the night before i had the problems has some water in their gas (BFS for anyone who might be wondering). I'll never buy gas from them again!!!

So it seems that everything has evened itself out. Never even got around to checking the error codes. I'm just gunna leave it alone for a few days and see how it runs. If I have any more problems I'll dive into it a little deeper. But I think that the dry gas was my solution!! Thanks goes out to everyone that tried to help me out!
