Is my MAF dying???

What is a good cure for all these codes? Does it look like my MAF is dying, or should I try and clean it or anything, or should I consider these are real readings? I never take these all that seriously, but they come back more frequently and seem to be adding new codes everytime! All help appreciated!

It's easy enough to clean first, so I'd try that...MAF cleaner from Pep Boys or something...

Ill try cleaning the MAF but the K&N has been on for about 20,000 miles and I cleaned the MAF after about 9-10,000 miles. Maybe its time to do it again. Im thinking the filter may need to be cleaned, but damn, I dont feel like taking the tire off and all the underside just to do that!! Maybe Ill do it on Sunday.

Set your MAF fail frequency to 12000hz

the point at wchihc it throws a CEL. Depending on mods, you could be going over that threshold at times.

Is that just for the PO103 code, or for all codes?? Do you think I should lean the tune out since Im runnig rich or should I just leave it the way it is?? What would I have to adjust to lean it out?

My car throws all those codes too. I tried using cleaner but it really doesnt work at all. I have an AEM DryFlow Filter on my intake. Its not that the MAF frequency is too high its just like at idle it'll throw the codes and im just like WTF!?! I just ignore it until someone figures out a fix.

I cant believe there arent any other MAF's that are plug and play with ours. This one looks like it would.
