First CEL can be caused by so many things in the fuel system like a bad charcoal filter or a loose gas cap/bad gas cap.
Second CEL is coming up because the oxygen sensor isn't working in a timely manner or at all...that usually means replacement, but whats your mileage? It may just be a wiring problem.

Glad you got it figured out! I thought it seemed a little early for a new O2, haha.
