Default I just wanted to confirm if i unplug the MAF and run it will it throw a DTC? While we're on the
subject, some have said to use an electronics clearer to clean the MAF , other Alcohol. What do you recommend?

Default Well...no...>>
You have to take the MAF element out of the housing (2 tamperproof Torx screws). You clean the metal plates in the element.....

Default I found a bit set at Shucks for 3.99 that worked for me.
Didn't clean it though, replaced it with the VW MAF element and it TOTALLY fixed my problems.
