How long since a tune-up? Take the throttle-body off and clean it. Use a gage and check fuel pressure. Are both injectors throwing out a similar spray pattern?

I haven't looked at the code. Any code just says that the computer thinks there is a problem on that system. Doesn't tell you what to replace.

To add on-DTC35 idle speed error-try cleaning out the EGR and PCV valves and test the TPS and MAP sensors
