97 F150 5.4

Recently replaced all plugs and two COPS....been running great, wife's truck btw and she imforms me that it's been idling rough.....I drive it and sure enough, it runs great, accels nicely but when pullin up to a light I notice the intermittent rough idle.....sometimes even idling good but too high, like at 1000RPM's.....the codes downloaded today are P1506, 0402, 0171, and 0174......before I jump in, what do you all see??? Much thanks,
MM

Well right off the bat , I see a Vacume leak and maybe a dirty MAF - Not sure what those other codes are without looking them up - someone will I'm sure.
