Checked my code and got this:

Was wondering if anyone had the same problem and if they had any advise?

Most of the time, this code is cause by a vacuum leak. Check for a hissing sound in the engine bay. Or use the carb cleaner spray method (spray in the suspected areas and if the engine idle increases or decreases, that would probably be the leak). Check loose hose clamps for rubber hoses and check for broken or cracked hose lines too.
