Car has the 2.5L V6. All o2 sensors were recently replaced (within a few months, for unrelated issue). Car began studdering/shaking/sometimes stalling when slowing down or stopped and the rpms got got lower yesterday. Previously replaced the iac valve to fix the same issue a few years ago with success. Replaced it yesterday and the problem improved but still had a slight shake, problem reappeared worse today and is hard to keep car running when slowing down or stopped. ECU gave codes P0171 and P0174 when scanned yesterday.

What I think you're looking for is a vacuum leak. Have you checked? Also, check around the intake.

Let me know what you find.
