    Cleaning the MAF may not help if it's just plain old fried. If you run an oiled filter (like a K&N) then the oil could have fouled it. Some people have had luck with cleaning when that happens, others have not.

    Good luck!

    Please try cleaning the Idle Control Solenoid first... If it's the culprit, it's an EASY fix!

    I run a regular paper filter. I tried spraying around the intake to see if the idle would speed up and it didn't. Wheres the map sensor located? I'll clean the idle control now.

    Thanks,
