Just had a water pump, serpentine belt and thermostat changed. Drove car and shifting was off as well as check engine light was on. Took it to have a Diagnosis reader from O'Reillys done it showed a p0171 too lean, p0300 multiple misfire, p0301 cyl 1 misfire, p0302 cyl 2 misfire, p0303 cyl 3 misfire, p0304 cyl 4 misfire, and lastly p0340 cam position sensor.
I am a single mom and do not have a lot of money to pay for things that don't need to be changed would like an idea before take it to shop.
Thank you for your time.

No not the serpentine belt, if you did the water pump , what gets replaced with it is the TIMING BELT. If the timing belt is incorrect, you set a misfire code and a cam position code.
