Speedo Not Working, Dies Unless Constantly Giving Gas

Well I'm running low on money. I had an 03 Hyundai Tiburon GT and this car was just given to me after my roll over/ejected accident. Anyway:

The speedometer doesn't work, or it does on its own will, and it quits at random.

I just had a shop replace the Mass Air Flow sensor and the car started to run again, and I think that was a total waste of $220. But now it's just doing the same old stuff and I have to drive with a foot on the brake and a foot on the gas because if I dont give it gas constantly and the rps plummet it dies, and I just know that's terrible on my brakes and transmission.

In park it has a very rough idle. Sounds like a misfire to me too. Not sure if these problems are even related.

The check engine is on, and this car has like 69,000 miles on it. It's an 89 Bonneville.

What's the code?

Secondary ignition checked?
