I assume you filled with 93 octane? Do you hear any pinging?

If you can get at the sensor, you should test its functionality with a multimeter and also make sure that it's tightly bolted in.

They can go bad from water getting into the engine bay and collecting under the intake manifold

A code for both sensors would indicate a vacuum leak

Try driving it for a while before you do anything, it may just be wet and need to dry out.

I found this out the hard way (i.e.; be REALLY careful when cleaning the engine with water OR steam!!).
