there is a way to test the MAF device itself. You need a voltmeter, and a 12 volt power supply. Basically you are testing the connections, then you blow air across it, it will read out on voltmeter if good, and if you tap on it and it changes output, it is bad.

That is the idea, someone else will have to fill you in on specific methods. I found it easier to just replace it, and see.

Cleaning it does not matter, if it is going out the hair thin platinum wire is damaged or worn out. The fact that you said it ran much better with the computer reset is telling.

Do you have any codes?
