Fix the lift pump first. then make sure there are no leaks in the fuel lines to allow air in. Make sure the fuel cap is correct, holds a slight pressure but almost no (< 2") vacuum.

The trans codes could be due to a bad speed sensor. More info is needed. Look up the troubleshooting procedures for those codes. Start with the lowest number first.
