sounds logical. i'll give that a try! googling some more and I keep coming across people stating the MAF.. yada yada... When I looked at mine, it looked BRAND NEW! Does a failed/failing MAF have any visible signs of failure or do they just "not work" after some point? also, during reinstall of it, could that have introduced a vacuum leak where it connects? I've read that if you get BOTH codes, it is most likely the MAF, one code and it means something is wrong on that side... (might go along with the 02 sensor theory, but i haven't had ANY indicators up to this point that an O2 was on the way out)

Also, and this may be far-fetched, but I have been using 92 octane (Valero) gas for the past few weeks only because my Shell (only 93 octane in town) is not on my daily route. Could this cause some kind of lean issue as well?

Would filling up with 93 and maybe some additive do anything for me?
