When I come to a stop light, the car seems to almost die. The engine hestitates and then it will be fine after I stomp on the gas.
A check engine light came on today.
I tried cleaning my MAF. Should I get a new one or is there another problem.

1. MAF
2. o2 sensors
3. crankshaft positioning sensor
these 3 things are usually the culprits for what you are experiencing.

4 o2 sensors, the whole deal cost me around 800 installed 
I'd replace the maf first to see what that does as it is a little less expensive. Have you had your codes read yet?

Sorry bud I only get on this site once a day. Honestly I don't know the exact codes you will see as I don't have a code reader and take my car to a mechanic to have serviced. I imagine you could take it in to a mechanic just to have them read the codes for you than you will know whats going on. I'm sure someone here knows what codes relate to the maf or 02's but I dont. I do think you could do both yourself if your mechanically inclined.
