codes are as follows...

12- rpm signal
22-water temp sensor signal
43-starter signal
51-knock control signal in ECU

how do i go about fixing those problems and is there any reason i shouldnt be driving my car right now with those problems?

I'd disconnect the pos lead on the battery and clear the codes. These codes don't seem to have any correlation to one another. I'd blame a computer voltage anomaly, or some static electricity, etc. Clear the codes and drive carefully. See what happens.

On second thought, you don't suppose these are all wires contained in a multiplug connector that's come unplugged?

yeah, great advice...clear the codes and act like nothing is wrong...thats what I do! ROFL

but seriously, I wouldnt just ignore the codes, I would follow the TSRM and see what course of action is recommended for solving the issue that threw the code...but hey, maybe thats just me.
