While in park, my car will idle normally and then after a few seconds
it will idle extremely slow and begin to shudder as if it was going to
die on me.  It happens worse if I happen to have the AC going.  Check
engine light was on so I checked the code and got back P1131.  What
gives?  I've done some searching around and have only gotten mixed
signals about my o2 sensor or my fuel filter or a vacuum leak.  How
can I check those and how much would it cost?

Thanks!

Have you tried cleaning the MAF sensor?  I'd begin there before I
started replacing things.

Great.  I'll give it a try.  Question is: where do I find it and how
do I clean it?

I.A.C.  idle air sensor  and a vacuum leak from  a  vacuum hose that
gets a hole in it from melting and rubbing from vibrations of the
engine.  Vacuum hose is in back of engine bay .
