Default Whats wrong with my car?!?!

Well any time I get on it and take the RPMs up it feels like I am letting off the throttle and stomping back on it over and over again. It used to only happen in 1st but now most of the time it won't happen until I shift into 2nd. Alot of the time it pulls the SES light and it shows 2 MAF codes. I used a whole can of CRC Mass Air cleaner on it hoping that would help, but it didn't. I know its likely that my MAF is going out and needs replaced, but the SES light goes away after turning the car off and back on. Wouldn't the light stay on all the time?

Again, imagine getting the RPMs up over 4k and taking your foot off the gas and quickly stomping back on it again and again (obviously by then I have let off to avoid looking like an idiot to surrounding drivers)
What do I do to check the voltage on the MAF, snap the throttle to WOT, sweep it slowly, or what?

What are the codes? They will still be stored as "history" codes even after the MIL goes back off - most stay for 40 cycles even without a failure.

It threw the codes ever since I bought the car, including after I cleaned the MAF. I replaced the MAF yesterday, the SES light hasn't come on but it still does the thing where it cuts out. Nothing has changed
