Default problems someone please help

My check engine light is on and my vsc light is on yesterday they would come on and then at some point when I got in the car they were of and stayed off. Now today they arevback on and now the check engine light is blinking sometimes. I went and had the codes checked and P1354 came up with multiple things it could be. I don't have the money to take it to a mechanic is there anything that we can do to reduce the cost of not having to take it to a mechanic.

Thank you!! I started reading some other posts in the forum after I posted this and there is a lot of really helpful hints to what might be going on. And I think that might be what is going on from what I read about the OCV. Thank you very much for your help.

Default thank you

Thank you Salim for all of your help and information. My husband took both valve and filters out and just cleaned them and put them back in, disconnected battery cable to reset and he says the car is running a lot better. Thank you so much!
