Car was running normally, so I cleared the codes through the Accessport and went home, no more CEL. After some research, I decided to clean the MAF sensor, and lo and behold, the O-ring on the sensor is essentially 100% disintegrated. Blue O-ring everywhere, it may as well not exist. The extent of the carnage is so immense that I will probably need to pick up a new MAF sensor ASAP.Supposedly I can give friends discounts at advance. I'd have to ask about it again. I'll also see if I can get us an account or something with a discount. I saw something like that on here once or maybe it was auto zone? I don't remember but depending on what the part is it might be a cheaper way for some us to get some parts cheaper. Some stuff is probably better still bought at more specialty stores rather than advance, but its a nice option.
Still, I cleaned off the bulb and internal wires, plugged it back in, and it seems to be working like it did before. Nevertheless, new intake was ordered (whatever's in there is a piece of shit) and I will try to source a new MAF sensor tomorrow, and then maybe do the fuel pump internals. I am pretty sure there is a good bit of unmetered/ mismetered air entering or exiting through that compromised sensor, which may or may not be leaning me out. Too bummed out and tired to do much else today.
