Lots of problems, someone help bad MAF?

Ok my camaro has a ton of problems. But 1st it does have a new IAC, adjustable MAF, new ECM. My car has recently displayed the codes 33,44,43,45,13,12. Also I do have a stock 25 year old cap, coil, and rotor. But my car has very bad hesitation, terrible gas mpg, and dies if rpms get below 1K. Also it runs really sluggish and if I put my foot down nothing happens I also have a new TPS to. I remember one of the codes delt with ignition which should stop with a tune up. Any advice?

The hesitation and bogging when hitting the gas are symptoms of a bad maf, the o2 sensor could be telling the motor to run rich which would be causing poor gas mileage. I'd put on a new cap, rotor, and plugs.

Also does it still have a cat? A clogged cat could cause it to have a loss of power and "sluggish" performance. Do you smell anything similar to rotten eggs when engines running?
