Thanks for all the info, were is a good site online to buy a maf, and should i take it back to the dealership to see if they can narrow it down to the maf? I checked all the hoses and clamps and everything seems to be in order, the only thing i noticed was that where the wires go to the maf, that little clip that protects the wires wasn;t on all the way, is there any way that the wires could have come loose?

also were is the idle air by-pass control valve located?
