I have had a few other weird codes so I may need to redo the ecu capacitors soon... Thanks for the thread hopefully this solves my P0505 problem.

I did a seafoam throttle body spray and the traditional seafoam and the car smoked a TON! I also changed the spark plugs and reset the ECU no more codes car drives great!
