Cleaned MAF and WOW!!! i cleaned my MAF and TB today cause my idle was fluctuating when transitioning from open loop to closed loop, and WOW...did it make a huge difference. the idle is so much better, the O2 readings are better, still a little ehhh, but runs good. didn't realize how dirty that thing was.
my idle improved (slightly disappointed cause now it is a little less choppy)
exhaust smells better (no cats)
better acceleration under the curve
so to anyone that has over 50K on there motor, i highly suggest this.

If you have a scanner, gather a lot of data with Dynamic Airflow (not MAF Airflow, that's just a lookup) and MAF Frequency, export the data, open it in Excel, and do a scatter chart of MAF Freq vs Dynamic Airflow, and you will see the main trend that's gonna look like your MAF calibration, but there's also going to be noise all around it. Lots of noise means clean your airfliter/MAF.

Yep, mine was so bad it made the car stall and act like it was choking for fuel.
Car stalled 3 times because the MAF Sensor was failing.
I finally unplugged it and drove the car to a parts store to pick up a new sensor.

I had bird feathers and a foot in my MAF when I bought my car... got it cheap cause it ran like ****... cleaned her throat and she was ready to rock and roll... (dont ask me how my bird ate a bird...I have no clue)
