Update and Question
I decided to check the intake filter last night before I went to bed and it was nasty. I had ordered a new one, but not put it in. Obviously the new one is in now. This led me to believe maybe I could get lucky (if that's what you want to call it) and it only be the MAF. So, I pulled the wires out of the MAF sensor and disconnected the battery for a minute to clear the codes. Started the car, drove it till it got up to temp and it ran fine (as far as I could tell). Only thing it did, was from a full stop, if you push down on the gas it will hesitate (kinda, but not even) for maybe 1/2 a second. Enough for the driver to notice, but probably not anyone else. This definitely leads me to believe I have a bad mass air sensor. This is where my question for you comes (lol u knew it was coming...right?) Do you think that slight hesitation that I speak of is simply b/c of the sensor not being plugged in and will dissappear when everything is back in proper order (speaking of the sensor only at this tiime)?? As soon as I get a chance i'm gonna check the codes on the car again and hopefully they've changed. That said...gonna get some electronic cleaner or something and clean the sensor. Hopefully it will work and I won't have to buy a new one just yet.
