There are quite a few things that can cause those codes to come up.
Things like vacuum leaks, defective MAP sensor, leaking intake gaskets, and mechanical engine parts to name a few.
One of the most common for your particular vehicle is the PCV hose/elbow . A cheap part to replace if needed and easy to do.
There are times when engine parameters are examined in what is referred to as "freeze frame" when using a scan tool that can tell the conditions present when the code(s) are set. If simple visual checks don't reveal anything , more detailed checks are required.
