any mods done to the car and is there a chance you have some un-metered air getting in somewhere? Check the hoses on the side of the intake and make sure you didn't knock one off. Also, check those hoses for cracks.

not sure if schucks is a parts store or shop but most larger parts stores will pull codes for free. Check around the TB and intake area for leaks. Anywhere after the MAF sensor really.

where the egr valve enters the manifold is cut so that it doesn't stick down as far as it did letting more air flow

did you do the egr mod at the same time? There's an o-ring that seals that egr to the intake. I've seen where people have either pinched that o-ring or lost it altogether. If it was done before all this started happening then I would doubt that's your problem but if you did the egr mod at the same time or when this started happening I'd look at that o-ring.
That code you're getting typically is for un-metered air getting in somewhere so I would check everything after the MAF for leaks.

just on a long shot try this.....unplug your iac and turn the key to run but don't start the car. Then turn the car off and plug it back in and turn the key to run again. Maybe for some reason it's seeing a different throttle % or something. That's a total guess but is easy to try. That'll for sure set your throttle % to zero.

All right now we are getting somewhere!!! 2 lean codes and a high idle definitely point to a vacuum leak. Check the PCV valve. Maybe its gummed up and stuck open. Otherwise check the vacuum hoses for cracks or disconnections. if you still can't find the leak, try spraying carb cleaner or throttle body cleaner on suspect areas while the engine is running. If the spray hits a leak and get sucked into the engine, the engine will sound different and the rpms will change.

It lays at the top of the passenger side valve cover. There's some foam padding wrapped around it. Just take that foam off and the valve is underneath it.
