What kind of car? How can you be sure that is the part? If you're having idling issues, it's probably your idle air control valve.

Yes. I just found the part. It's called the map sensor. And that is one of the codes I'm getting

I'm glad you found it. That's an easy repair. It should just be a couple of screws holding it down. I just replaced mine but mine was on the throttle body.

Did it give you any type of starting problems?

No starting problems. I replaced it to see if it would fix my idling issue. Apparently, the old MAP sensor was fine because the idling problem persisted until I replaced the IAC valve.
