This is very often an air leak through a bad hose somewhere on the intake manifold.
The only way the system has to ID the fault is by the OX sensors.
They shift the fuel tables trying to account for the extra air.
When the tables are shifted out of normal range, the codes are set.
The trick is to know the dynamic operation, because the codes do not tell you what part is faulty.
Good luck.
