Evap, most people just ignore because many people have tried to fix it and replaced damn near everything without being able to get rid of the code. I've got that code and I just reset the ecu a day or 2 before inspection and I passed. A lot of people seem to have a problem with the rollover valve on top of the fuel tank, although that seems to be mostly guys who have gone turbo, and most don't really have the desire to fix it

As for the P0505 code, you can try cleaning out your throttle body and IAC plunger as outlined here:

If that does not help, you may have to replace the IAC motor.

check for vacuum leaks first, both codes might be related to the same vacuum leak
