p0171, p0174 have returned

Getting codes p0171 and p0174 and a stumble to stall at idle. Cleaned IAC, new fuel filter, and replaced MAF. (Vehicle ran well with MAF unplugged so decided to replace it). Drove great for 4 hours with no codes or stumbles.
Vehicle sat for 2 days, restarted today and problem and codes have resurfaced. Did I get a crappy MAF or should I be looking somewhere else? Thanks.

Whatever device used to obtain your DTC's should have some diagnostic capability too--things like oxygen sensors, the MAF's actual performance with engine at operating temperature. Checking fuel pressure would be a good idea too but that requires a proper gauge and fitting(s) to attach it to the fuel rail.

I can check fuel trim but other diagnostics are limited as I am using Torque lite with a bluetooth adapter.

Well then the codes or DTC's you've obtained aren't a lot better than a simple MIL lamp being lit up, the ubiquitous "check engine soon" light in the instrument cluster. Your DTC's simply say something is wrong and without further interrogating the PCM for what's triggered them you have no clue as to what that could be.
