surging at idle

Hi everyone, I need a little help. I have an 03 f-150 with a 4.6 v-8, and a K&N air filter system. the check engine light came on and within a couple of days the engine was surging at idle. sometimes it will stall at a stoplight. i checked the code and it said the MAF sensor was dirty or bad. i cleaned, then replaced the MAF sensor, but no change. I also looked for vacum leaks, and there are none to be found.

Does anyone know the answer to this problem? injectors? Fuel pump? any help would be greatly appreciated!
