At idle, my car is about 700 RPM. You might try replacing the throttle position sensor if you are comfortable doing it yourself. ---

700 RPM is normal for my car, I’m not sure what yours is supposed to be. If it’s 650-700 I doubt that’s too high. ---

Nope. The 507 is the throttle position sensor. The 0122 is detection of a high idle. In this case it would be a secondary effect of a bad throttle position sensor. ---

At some point you’re goingg to end up bring this to a shop to be diagnosed. It’ll be a lot less expensve to do so now than trying to replace part after part until the problem gets fixed. The fault codes are great, but they’re only the first step in diagnosis.
