I thought I would just let you guys know that I had rough idling and bogging sometimes and occasionally I would get a code p0171. Well I went to go check my MAF sensor to see if it was plugged in properly and it was, after looking around, I noticed my air intake piping going down to the throttle body that it was cracked at a couple of places and a section had at least a 1 inch rip. I replaced that whole section with a aluminum piping.
As I removed this section, when it was in my hand it was just breaking so easy. This rubber section shouldn't be cracking that easily, so I assume it must be some cheap quality Korean made part?? I don't know but I advise everyone to double check them on your cars if you still have the stock OEM intake system. Maybe it might be just mine because of the cold winter weather season but I never ever had this problem with any of my other cars I have and ever owned.
Oh, I've owned this car since march 2012 and has 74,000kms if your wondering how long it took for this to happen.
