I'd recommend checking for additional codes with FORScan. It will often report faults that other scanners miss. Plus, its free.

No scanner needed, just a Windows laptop or a smartphone/tablet and a method to connect them to the OBD-II port. A USB cable is usually used with the laptop and a Bluetooth adapter for the smart devices. Both can be purchased off Amazon. More info here:
https://forscan.org/home.html

There may not be other codes, but at least you will know for sure.

You need a certain USB plug for it to run best. If you use one of the aftermarket options, it won't run well and may have issues connecting.

Justine: is the adapter you're going to need:

The cost for the license is negligible and totally worth it. You'll be able to pull more data and run tests.

Does it start just fine? Or is it struggling to start like it's not getting any air?

Could be a vacuum leak or the IAC.
Check the PCV hose where it connects to the throttle body.
The hose is not reinforced and gets soft from heat.
The IAC valve can cause similar symptoms.
It controls all air flow into the engine at idle and has no codes for poor performance.

I haven't changed them before and I'm not sure if the previous owners did or not guess I'll find out when I pull one
