Here recently, maybe 2-3 weeks ago, I cleaned and re-oiled my K&N filter. Now, occasionaly when I first start it up and pull out, it bogs down really bad, then drives normal. At first I thought that I had shi**y gas, put been putting Shell V-Power in it since and it still does it. Could I have possibly fouled my MAF? Or what else could be the problem? Plugs have been changed, maybe 3 months ago, about 100 miles over an oil change, but it done it before that too. The more I drive it, the less it does it. It doesn't do it everytime when I pull out, occasionally it does. But I wanted to check because if something is wrong I want to fix it before something serious. Any suggestions?

Same thing happened to me. I cleaned the MAF and the throttle body and problem solved.

I'll do that. What do I clean the MAF with? I don't wanna mess it up. Same thing for the throttle body?

Get a can of Air Intake and Throttle Body Cleaner from any parts store....I usually let the filter sit for a day after it's oiled just to be safe....

I also got a can of electronics cleaner from the parts store for the MAF sensor. Spray it on and it cleans and dries in seconds.
