So have been throwing the infamous p0171 code and decided to replace the MAF sensor. Car was surging when cold as if I were trying to take off in 3rd gear, no power after 4k rpm. Since replacing the car doesnt want to idle without stalling. I read somewhere that the ECM may need reprogramming/idle re-learn. I haven't tried the re-learn yet, but wondering if this alone should resolve this issue? Are there any other symptoms that would indicate the need to rerprogram? The MAF is also used (bought from a guy here) that said all was working ok.

Thanks
