scanned the car with maroman88's scanner and got a lean code i believe it was code 44..

sooo finally got around to fiddling with the car.. i ran the car with the MAF unplugged and it ran better than it has in a looooong time, no hesitating or stumbling ( i know the computer goes into a 'limp' mode with the MAF unplugged and is basically using speed density)

i then cleaned the MAF with some MAF cleaner, let it dry a few hours and hooked it up and the car was back to being a dooooog..

Where should i go now? im thinking its the MAF, since the car ran great with it unplugged.. but someone elso said the MAF burnoff could be causing the issue.. any kind of test i can do?
i'd hate to buy a MAF and that not be the problem since they are kinda pricey..
