Then i would hunt over the VAC Pipes to see if there is any obvious splits etc. After that it would be Throttle Body off and lean out the IAC Valve underneath it. Some of the Codes are for O2 Sensor...

Re: Water pump??

Pumps don't usually fail as in the impeller falls off and you get no circulation. If they go it's usually the Shaft seal that leaks causing a loss of coolant.
