Hi. You need to clean the Mass Air Flow Sensor.
This is an easy job.
Get a can of throttle body or brake cleaner spray at your local auto parts store.

Open the hood, and locate the air filter box. follow the tube from the filter box towards the engine. Look for a small black box with 2 screws holding it to the air tube, Remove the wire connector and observe inside the sensor with a flashlight. You will see 2 small wires, and they will appear fuzzy or dirty. Spray the interior with the cleaner until the wires are nice and clean. Do not use compressed air, you will damage the sensor. Put it all back together and drive it.
This will def fix your issue. This is a vey common problem. If you do it yourself, you will save 70 + bucks.

Thanks for choosing FixYa, and a FIxYa rating for my assistance would be greatly appreciated.

SOURCE: car won't pick up speed on acceleration

You're not getting enough fuel. You should check your fuel pressure. If you have enough fuel pressure, your injectors are probably clogged up. Run a lot of fuel cleaner through your tank when you put gas in and see if it makes any difference. Lucas fuel treatment is the best to use.

You most likely have a big vacuum leak. PCV hose split or a bad Idle Air Control motor (IAC)

SOURCE: 2007 kia sedona vacuum leak

Before I bought the Mass Airflow Sensor, I looked up the codes again for the 2007 3.8L Kia Sedona. One listing was "massive vacuum leak". I took all the hoses and debris collectors off of the engine, and upon close inspection; the large air hose that connects the air filter to the intake manifold was dry rotted at ALL the ridges. I flexed the hose a few times and saw where the vacuum leaks were occurring. I also removed the EGR hose for inspection and found the hose was faulty as well. Since these parts are "dealer only", I used duct tape to seal the leaks as a temp fix, filled the gas tank and used fuel injector cleaner. Disconnected the neg. battery terminal, reset the codes, and the check engine light turned off. Runs like a champ now. Vehicle has 119,000 miles so I guess wear and tear like this is to be expected. New hoses from online parts dealer totaled 130.00. I got off easy I think.

1.4L turbo CEL P0171 P015B P1101 replaced bank 1&2 o2 sensors MAF sensor and all 4 spark plugs idles at 700rpm now roughly getting 20mpg instead of 48mpg anyone have any ideas?

There is no code P015B. Also you may have a actual lean condition and there was nothing wrong with the old part. Check for engine vacuum leaks while you monitor the output voltage from the O2 sensors. 1.0 volt is very rich fuel, .25 Volt and lower is very lean. The sensors should go back and forth with an average voltage of about .55 volts.

P0171 & p1101 codes

p0171 is a lean condition on the oxygen sensor from the side of the engine that is the same side as cylinder 1. The other p1101 is an air flow issue that is most likely a vacuum leak that is causing the 171 error. Check all the vacuum lines on the engine and see if any are loose and also see if there is any damage to the PCV valve from the battery leaking.

2001 chevy suburban,idles rough,check engine light flashes ,after truck warm up light go off and stop idling rough

Get a computer scan for trouble codes to see if that points you towards the problem. Possibly an engine sensor is not working right till it is warmed up. You might also check the idle air control for proper operation when cold.

2004 Explorer Replaced Alternator, but car idle still not right, stalls, ck engine light still on. Car lights when dim and then car died. Mechanic said it was the alternator. Alternator replaced. Car...

You need to put a scanner on the truck and see if any codes are set and if so of course repair them and then clear the codes in the computer with the scanner. I would check the idle air control and the throttle position sensor. I would also check the alternator by starting the truck and then taking off the positive battery cable and the truck should continue to run. If not the alternator that was put on is bad.

I have a 96 Honda Civic HX. When I am at idle the car starts to shake and the rpms fall almost to zero. I took the car to a mechanic and was told that I need a new Catalytic Converter and the EGR ports...

Yes and No. The EGR can cause the car to idle rough and or stall. I am assumeing the check engine light was on and set code for EGR and Catalytic Converter. If the engine isn't running right it is possible the cat won't work right due to improper air fuel ratio that the EGR is causing. To do repair proper the EGR should be fixed then clear codes and see if the code for Catalytic Converter. There are other reasons that would your car to idle rough or stall I am just assuming that this mechanic got codes or tested the EGR right.
