    So I changed my trans fluid and filter along with and oil change on NYE. Drove around quite a bit after the oil changes, id say 40-50 miles. Everything gravy, lovin life.

    Now yesterday I leave for work and I notice that my LTFTs are up around 16, drops when I give it gas (0 LTFT at WOT) and it starts to what I believe is misfiring, but it's slamming the transmission like its thirsty for gas and then it gets a big chug... If that makes any sense. It surges to the point that the trans sort of feels like its slipping and then catches. Ive also noticed at idle during a surge, my dash lights dim.

    Then while letting my car warm up tonight it throws a P0171 too lean code.

    Now, we've been blasted with snow for two days now and my car is currently covered in layers of salt and ice, but otherwise has 100300 miles and its pretty well taken care of. I dont really thing corroded grounds are a concern yet. I checked my batt and the ground right next to it, and theyre pretty darn clean.

    I had a spare MAF but I cant find the damn thing, so for now I took my MAF out and cleaned it. No change.

    I can say that at idle, unplugging the MAF drops LTFTs from 16 to 3. What exactly does this mean?

    I can also say that when I did my oil change, it was so cold out that the oil was as thick as a milkshake and when I pulled the funnel out, I spilled about a 1/2 qt of oil all over the front of my engine bay.

    I guess my questions are:
    1. Does this have anything to do with my trans fluid change? Something under the trans pan I couldve jacked up?
    2. Could oil possibly have gotten on the cone filter and then all over my MAF and ruined it?
    3. I did scrape the underside of my car against some pretty thick, tall ice chunks... Could I maybe have knocked my headers loose or something?

    Help is appreciated.

    Edit: I have heavy duty silicone vac lines and gave them (and the LIM/supercharger) the brake cleaner test and while it did sputter/surge a few times, it didnt seem to relate to my spraying, as I couldnt get it to repeat the same surges twice. The lines are still brand new looking.

    Also, without taking the throttle body off, I gave the egr tube a good lookover and it looks fine.
