Run some techron injector cleaner through there also. Can't hurt, might help!

Good luck!

Id personally start by cleaning your Idle Control Valve(ICV). ICVs can start going bad without throwing any code whatsoever-initial symptoms would be extremely unsteady idle. Often times, Emmision control devices such as the MAF,O2s, Vacuum Leaks would throw in a CEL/code. Try locating the ICV, disconnect, clean the connectors using an Electrical Cleaner or WD40. Run a search for "ICV Cleaning" online and im sure itll give you a general idea on how your clean the ICV. ICV failures are fairly common amongst other high end euro cars such as MB, BMWs...BTW, a MAF failure would often be accompanied by stalling, extreme engine hesitation, etc aside from Idle roughness.
