P0505 Idle Control System Malfunction
Basically you need to check all the sensors that run to the PCM (vehicle speed sensor, coolant temp sensor, air conditioning sensors, power steering pressure sensor, etc.) because the PCM adjusts the idle based on the info it receives from these sensors. You can do visual checks on the sensors to check for damage or corrosion. But make sure you check for vacuum leaks too.

P0505:
Do you have a high or surging idle?

P0420:
This code generally means the catalytic converter is toast, though you should first rule out an exhaust leak before replacing it.
