Perhaps it needs replaced????

As to your question about low humidity.
the MAF sensor accounts for changes in humidity when it is functioning properly.
Blue,
The MAF is only 2 years old, along with new O2 sensors. What I tried today was cleanning the throttle body and recalibrating it. It seemed to fix the CEL coming on after about 20 miles of driving. I now only have the SAI monitor after driving about 40 miles. Hopefully I can continue driving it so I can reset the last monitor with no CEL. Then I can get the smog finally and hopefully it passes.

With those two trouble codes, P1128 and P1130, the AOS is also suspect.

There is a spec for vacuum at the oil filler cap. It Has to be read with a manometer as a regular vacuum gauge is not calibrated fine enough. I do not know the spec but if it exceeds the spec then the AOS is suspect. This info has been posted by member "JFP in PA" so if one does a search you should be able to find the info.

I just went and did a search under manometer.
The spec calls for under 5in/wc at operating temp.
You need a manometer and an oil cap with a fitting for the vacuum hose.

I have had these codes for a while. I cleaned the MAF and helped briefly. I finally bought a used one on ebay a few days ago and so far the codes are gone.
