I'd first check the voltage at the connector to the MAF.

Check the ENG SEN fuse too if you're getting any other codes for something on that circuit.

You don't perhaps have an over-oiled K&N air filter do you? It happens.....

I have checked all the fuses, changed the MAF sensor, and cleaned the filter... The only thing i can think of is the slp lid is messing with the computer

Did you read the link above? Your problem is electrical - not mechanical. (BTW - The only way your lid would be an issue is if a dead animal, etc. were in there and blocking airflow.) If you changed the MAF, then you have a cut or unplugged wire somewhere.

You should start measuring the voltage at the sensor plug and then work your way back through the circuit until you find the break.

I checked the connector and i was getting current through one wire but the other 2 were dead and i checked the wires to the back of the manifold and i didnt find any breaks

Three wires:
Yellow - Sensor Signal
Black/White - Ground
Pink - Ignition Feed

With the ignition on but the engine off, you should see 5V between the Yellow and Black/White wire.

The factory manual has a very long procedure for testing the circuit, which involves testing the PCM and electrical frequency from the sensor, etc.

The manual also says that the code can be set by:
- Broken wires
- Engine vacuum leaks
- PCV leaks
- An incorrect PCV valve
- Missing engine oil fill cap
- Unseated engine oil dipstick

the unseated oil dipstick would cause that? That might be it

Not sure - maybe the opening in the crankcase throws off the MAP sensor and the code is thrown when the MAP and MAF are out of balance.

Do you have your dipstick in? When was the last time you changed your PCV?

Just pull out the PVC valve and shake it. If it feels gummed up, time for a new one. Either of those could be your issue, it looks like.
