help w/ check engine light code #P0505

I just got a check engine light. My car idles at like 250-500 rpm. With the AC it bogs from 0-250. I just had my alternator replaced and just checked it and i'm getting power from it. ANy ideas?

found it and just did it, disconnected the battery first to reset the check engine light. Seems to be idleing fine now, however at 500 rpm instead of the usual 650-750. We'll see if it comes back.
