P0101 is an Air Mass sensor code. It's the sensor on your intake tube right after the filter housing. It's set by air mass sensor voltage is not within a pre-determined range.
P0181 is the fuel temperature sensor code. The code is set if (@ cold start up) the air mass temp sensor and fuel temp sensor differ by more than 18 deg F.

It's best to test the air mass sensor I can get you the test if you would like. But that being bad will set the code for the fuel sensor.

Air mass is most likely the culprit.
