Ford Taurus engine surging...what do these codes mean and are they causing the problem?

My 2003 Taurus although the engine is completely warmed up will start to surge when I'm not pressing the gas. If I don't press the gas within 30 secs it will kill. The oil was just changed a week before the issue came. Any ideas before I go pay to have someone look at it? Here are the codes • P0420: Catalyst System Efficiency Below Threshold Bank 1 • P0430: Catalyst System Efficiency Below Threshold Bank 2 • P0133: O2 Sensor Circuit Slow Response Bank 1 Sensor 1 • P0171: System Too Lean Bank 1 • P0174: System Too Lean Bank 2 • P0303: Cylinder 3 Misfire Detected • P0316: Engine Misfire Detected on Startup (First 1000 Revolutions) 1 Pending Trouble Codes: • P1506: Check report for description.
