After checking for unmeterd air leaks on your Intake, Pcv, and Egr systems, need to clean
MAF/IACT sensors, and reset codes.

If this doesn't fix the problem:
1) Get a professional smoke test done, for unmetered air leaks.
2) New MAF/IACT sensor
3) New Upstream H02 sensors.
Couldn't get much done today, too freaking cold in KC..lol

Cleaned maf..look ok

Did carb cleaner test along intake...half way down(leftside driverside)heard a lite whistle sound but the rpm went down..engine stumbled a little..Does that sound like a gasket problem?
