Im just putting this out there so anyone with a P0101 or a low idle stall condition doesn't freak out immediately.
Had my oil changed yesterday, as soon as I got in to leave it was idling pretty rough and then actually stalled out at a stoplight, had never happened before.
I decided to let it be until I got home last night and could take a look.
My MAF sensor is only about 5 months old, so I was reluctant to think it was shot.
Long story short, when the lube place pulled my air filter to show me, part of their sales tactic, they did not reinstall the tb end of my airade intake correctly. I saw it right away, but cleaned the MAF since I had it apart.
Long story short, crisis averted. but just having the boot not seated correctly made a world of difference.
