Over the summer I noticed when I would come to a stop with my ac on, my rpm's would bog down. Ac turned off the idling was fine. Recently I had to replace my alternator. Immedently after now when I come to a stop my rpm's surge to between 2500 and 3000. Did the act of the alternator going bad spike out my MAF Sensor, or is there another possibility?
