Do not drive your car and get it to a shop ASAP.

Your first two codes are pretty simple. Your cylinders 1 and 2 are misfiring, this can cause severe damage to your engine.

The 2nd code basically means one of your O2 sensors in bank 2 detected to much oxygen in the exhaust. Could be a bad sensor, but I would go get that diagnosed first.

As stated above though, get your car to the shop ASAP, and do not drive it unless absolutely necessary. I would recommend having the shop come and tow it.

*Edit*

Pertaining to the P0174 error you were pulling, this is directly off the ODB II website:

* The MAF (Mass Air Flow) Sensor is dirty or faulty. Note: The use of "oiled" air filters can cause the MAF to become dirty if the filter is over-oiled. There is also an issue with some vehicles where the MAF sensors
leak the silicone potting material used to protect the circuitry.
* There could be a vacuum leak downstream of the MAF sensor.

and for the cylinder 1 and 2 misfire, replace the spark plugs on them first. if problem acts up again, disconnect battery for 15mins, and swap the coilpack with cylinder 3/4 or 5/6 and get codes checked again.

A few months ago I was having the constant P0174 code and the random P0300 and 301, 302, ect codes. I replaced the spark plugs and the O2 sensor and its been fine ever since. I suggest changing the O2 sensor first and see if that does the trick first then move to the spark plugs. Then again if you dont know how long its been since the spark plugs have been replace you could go ahead and change them. Good luck bro.

Honestly I wish I could tell you the exact problem I was having when this was happening to me, I do know however it was a couple of sensors that the dealer had to replace.

Anyways, blinking engine light is not a good thing, this indicates "potential serious damage" to your engine. I would highly recommend you call a tow truck and have it picked up from where it is. Driving with your engine in this condition can (and if you let it go on) will cause damage.

Well the O2 sensor I changed was the one in the very front on the header. If your looking under your hood you should be able to see it. Its the easiest one to get to. I'll try to take a picture if I have time.

Actually I believe that is your bank 1 sensor. If I'm not mistaken your bank 2 sensor is located behind the catalytic converter. You actually have 3 sensors, two oxygen and a air/fuel sensor. You will have two sensors in your exhaust manifold, and as stated, one right after the catalytic converter.
