I have now driven about 250 miles since I cleaned my MAF and changed my air filter and no CEL.

I have read on the PCA.org Q&A tech section that long term driving with your fuel air mixture being too lean or too rich due to a bad or dirty MAF can cause damage in that if it is too rich it can burn out your CATs.

I cleared my CEL with a code reader. I don't think the CEL will clear itself simply because the cause has been resolved.
