Remember to put your foot on the brake to shift out of park.

Also, throwing parts on a car simply because you get certain ODB-II codes is not really the best way to fix anything. Some subsystems have dependencies on other subsystems so that a failure on a completely different part will show a misleading code. For example, P0171 could mean a dirty or failed MAF, or a large vacuum leak. P0302 and P0304 are codes for misfires on cylinders 2 and 4; P0300 is "random/multiple cylinder misfire". That could mean bad coil packs, or it could mean an overly lean condition, again pointing to a vacuum leak. Check all the vacuum lines, in particular the line going to the brake booster.
