Damn I love when im right,......and as far as cleaning the MAF, the best way that I have been told the pros was to go buy some of that electronics parts cleaner in a spray can as you dont want to touch the MAF wires with anything at all. The stuff i use comes in a blue and yellow can, i believe its called Truevolt. Spray that through the MAF from both sides and blow it out LIGHTLY with compressed air. Get yourself a new filter and clean that crap outta yer tubes and you should be good to go assuming it didnt make it to the T.B.
