    So if the car idles better/like normal when you disconnect the sensor, it's a good chance the sensor is bad, correct? It idles everywhere and you can feel/see it missing when connected, almost stalling

    Cleaner is really cheap for the MAF sensor. It's pretty easy to clean it too. If you have questions let me know. I'll take some pics and show you what to do.
