Default Neon Problems

I have two codes 12 Direct battery input to pcm was disconnected within the last 50 key-on cycles and 51 Fuel system lean.I was wondering how do you fix these? When I push on the gas very easy it has a bad miss to it I changed the plugs and plug wires what could cause this?Also when Iam sitting somewhere it starts to overheat it goes almostthe whole way tohot but then my fans kick on and it goes back to normal, when Iam cruisin around the temp is fine.

for the overheating problem, you temp sensor might be going bad, coolant might be a bit low, radiator might be shot......
12....dont worry about it, disconnect the positive battery clamp for a while and then hook it back up, or go sumwhere that can erase the codes.....
51....could be a bad 02 sensor

you can take it to Autozone and they can scan it and tell you if its bank 1 (upstream) or bank 2 (downstream)
