MAF malfunction and running lean

hey guys
i got codes 100 (MAF malfunction) and 171, 174 ( R+L banks lean)
I cleaned the MAF sensors w/ electronics cleaner and put fuel injector cleaner and a new fuel filter on the car. Its still throwing the same codes, gonna check my fuel pressure when I can borrow a gauge, any ideas on the MAF? Am I on the right track guessing that my fuel pump might be going? would bad O2 sensors affect this? I checked for exhaust leaks, plugs and wires look ok too. car only has 60k easy miles. thanks for the help

To me it sounds like you've got a shot MAF....

Easiest way to check would be to swap in a known good one...

I just got a jode 100 and my car ran like crap... I unpluged the MAF(PCM went into Speed Density Mode), car ran 100 times better... so I got a new MAF... Solved the problem.
