Default Hmm i think i have a problem.

Short story. I had just bought some new tires for the t/a i was on my way into town. I notice the engine cut out for a brief second. then its fine. then it does it again. I think im doing a corner in 6th the gears to low. i change up does the same thing IT throws a code. I stop by my work to have it scanned. IT threw a MAF code. It would only seem to cut out as the CE light would turn on and off. I put on some MAF cleaner and took it around the block. Could it be something that simple?
