I did mine this weekend too. I was getting the P1128 and P1130 CELs. About 52,000 miles on the car. The MAF was very clearly dirty when I removed it. Cleaned up nice though. I did not notice any performance difference, but hopefully it will at least run smoother.

Try re-cleaning MAF, while also replacing air filter [use stock paper filter], and cleaning out air intake ducts as far as you can. Worked for me, 5,000 miles so far.
