Default Fault codes P1471 & 1472

Good evening,

I had a failure in my annual checking due to poor emissions:
CO was 1.34 (should be 0.2 at max) and
HC was 135 (should be 100 at maximum).

Then I checked the fault codes:

P1471
Variable intake manifold actuator 1 - valve always closed Variable intake manifold actuator 1 function - valve always closed Yes
P1472 Variable intake manifold actuator 2 - valve always open Variable intake manifold actuator 2 function - valve always opened Yes

The smartbox receipt says:
p1472 Variable intake Butterfly Valve, always open
p1471 Variable intake Balance Valve, always closed

I also noticed some misfires from the test screen while checking the emissions. Are all these related? And why there weren't any warnings..?

Any suggestions?

Thanks!
