Do you have a K&N or a cold air kit? It is probably your mass air senser the baro reading is probably wrong. K&N oil can ruin them. If you know someone that has a scan tool that can read pids baro should be around 155 depending on your elevation. when they get to reading lower they will lean you out.

There is an air line that is prone to cracking. It runs along side of the passenger side of the engine and connects to the intake right after the throttle body. It cracks right at a 90 degree bend at the front of the motor. Mine cracked on the bottom and took a while to find, so keep a sharp eye.
I have a k&n as well and have not had any issues with my maf

Its a vacuum elbow. Rubber 90 degree elbow that runs with a plastic tube from below the throttle cover/throttle body area over to the drivers side valve cover. The little rubber elbow gets dry, cracks and leaks air & vacuum causing those codes. I replaced mine last year with a whole new assembly.
