Hello all,
I have '99 CVLX that starts hard in the cold and won't idle properly unless I keep giving it gas, it also runs a little messy after warm-up. The check engine light is on and returns codes PO173 & PO174 at autozone. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

disconnect the MAF sensor. If nothing changes, clean and/or replace the MAF sensor.

Also, if you haven't done them, replace the plugs and fuel filter.
