I recently took my vehicle to the shop to have codes pulled, and got P0171, P0174, P0101. I let them replace the intake manifold gasket and I did the plug, wires, air filter, and cleaned the MAF. MAF is only twelve months old. Truck will start now but does not want to idle. It will idle for a second and then stall. It also wants to stall when coasting. Any suggestions? Could it be bad o2 sensors? I replaced all o2 sensors twelve months ago.

It does not sound like oxygen sensors are causing the problem. The codes are telling you the system is lean so there must be a vacuum leak or a cylinder misfire. Lets get started by following this guide to check for vacuum leaks.

Please run this test and get back to us.
