2. This is probably a stupid question, but after I clean the MAF, should I reset/clear the codes, or will the CEL just go off after a successful fix?
It took me about a year with the CEL light on & off to finally get around to fixing it, and no damage occured.. not really a big deal, as long as you know what the codes are..

Yes you should clear the codes out after any repair. The ecu will turn it off if the code doesn't reset, but it takes like 500 key cycles or something like that..
