Default Accelerator Pedal Positioning Sensor

On my 2001 Z06 I continue to get codes PCM-1285 and 1286 they both have a "H C" behind them but they keep popping up i will occationally get reduced power message. I noticed that last night when i was sitting at a stop light in neutral with my foot off he gas pedal the engine would idle up to about 1500 rpm for 3-5 seconds then drop back down the the normal 700rpm or so... So is that a indication of the APP sensor going out if so how much and where can i get one? i need one asap! i live in arkansas thanks for all the help! only other codes im getting is the 1214 and 1278 and i assume that is the EBCM that need to be sent to ABS fixers or someone of that sort...

I replaced my ACC pedal a while back. I got it from a salvage yard. I paid $90 for it. I think it was over 300 new.
It takes about 10 minutes to change - very easy.
