I've searched for this but i can't find any answers. My check engine light came on about a month ago and it gave me 2 codes p0325 knock sensor and a p0100 maf sensor. My car has been stalling once in a while but up until now it stalled then i started it back up and it began misfiring and shaking really bad so i ran a code check again and it still said the same maf and knock codes. so my question being is my maf gone or can i try cleaning it for it to work and is the misfiring being caused by the maf?

Welcome to NICO.

You can try cleaning the MAF with either MAF cleaner or electrical contact cleaner (don't use brake cleaner or any other types of cleaners).

Yes, your problems are most likely being caused by the bad MAF.

If you unplug the MAF from the connector and the engine runs better
then the MAF is bad-it may or may not be able to be cleaned.
