Possible intake air leak (oil filler tube)
Possible SAI issue
Possible failed MAF

Good to get these sorted out. Driving around with these issues can cause long term damage to your motor and cats.

The P0410 and P1411 codes only appeared once, and i turned them off about a year ago and have not come back. Should i still worry about them?
I read the renntech post, and it looks/seems pretty complicated and might be out of my realm

No. Only troubleshoot codes that throw a CEL. Our DMEs are very sensitive and load a lot of transient error codes into memory. If the DME adapts or the problem resolves itself the error codes will go away. Once a CEL is lit some diagnosis is needed to solve a recurring issue.

Well that makes sense, if i turn them off, and they don't come back, the problem either got resolved, or was something that was not actually an issue?
Thanks for the clarification. What does DME stand for?

So as of recently i only have the p1123 and p1125 and p0134 codes. What specifically should i do in relation to these? Clean my MAF?

Unplug the MAF sensor wire harness. If the car runs better, replace the MAF. Cleaning it is useful if it just got contaminated during a AF replacement but it is still relatively new. If your MAF has more than 30K on it, replace it.

So you are suggesting i drive around with the MAF unplugged, at least for a little bit? Who sells MAF's at a good price?
