Had the fuel level sensor replaced two days ago and now the car at idle runs rough. It has hesitation and feels like It wants to stall but hasn't yet. There is no codes what so ever? Car ran fine prior to replacement. Stumped here. Any input suggestions are appreciated.

Already cleaned throttle body and MAF still idles rough. Truck has 94k miles is it time for spark plugs and wire replacement? Could this be the issue?

Update: there I little hose that connects to the side of the airbox on the left side of the motor it was broken in half patched it with plastic JB weld until I can go to the dealer and order a new one. Re-cleaned the MAF and so far so good no more bumps or hesitation. Let's hope that was the issue.

Plugged in the OBD scanner and was getting P0301 cylinder 1 misfire, must of been why the idle was rough. It looks like the shop I took it to that replaced the fuel level sensor must have broke one of my spark plug wires as it was running perfect prior to dropping it off. I don't know why they would be messing with them anyway. Went ahead and replaced all the plugs and wires and now runs smooth as silk and all the codes are clear.
