Is the gas in it still a year or so old? Reset the ECU and see if that code pops up again.

Test your fuel pump, make sure its putting out correct pressure. Maybe give it a basic tune up, new plugs, fuel filter, cap rotor, etc. If the car has been sitting for awhile, it could probably use some help.

ELD is nothing major. Mabye the radio is wired up wrong, etc.
