if my maf is bad and/or dirty - will clenaing it and/or repalcing it make any diffference in performance/driveability?

It truly does depend on the reason why the MAF is setting off the trouble code.
If its exactly the same issue as my car had, then cleaning the MAF won't have any effect, as the sensor was below range, and not responding to engine speed changes.
If its out of range, but is changing, then cleaning the MAF might be the answer.
Or it can be a truly different cause setting off the same code.
No one can know until the computer is hooked up, and the sensors are read.
