P0700 and P0705 often accompany a problem with the neutral safety switch.

Cleaning the NSS will most likely take care of your symptoms and also turn off the check engine light for those two codes.

Here is a good link to a thread that can help you through the process of
"refurbishing" the neutral safety switch.

Most common cause would be the fuel pressure sending unit itself.

Here is a thread on troubleshooting this with testing.

Very helpful! I've replaced my NSS four times already and today it threw the codes AGAIN! This time I will try the cleaning method. Thanks!
