I personally stand behind she'll all the way... chevron second... no really statistics... just pure feel... I love how much smoother the car feels with she'll gas... I throw away perfectly good fuel filters during tune ups...

During tune ups... I know that my old fuel filter isn't bad... it's just like changing my perfectly clean air filters every year...

Like the guys said... your mafs might not be bad, just need to be cleaned. YouTube how to clean MAF sensors and give it a shot... it's cheap

Diagnosing online is a lot harder in person... since you want to rule out all the cheap fixes first, thus is the way to go... one thing at a time buddy... good luck and everyone is here to support you... so clean your MAF sensors, try it out and let us know...

Now don't jump on to your high horse yet bro. I would never reset a fault code until the issue is fixed. In some instances you may have just reset and your car is just out of "safe mode" now it can be just waiting to re-evaluate performance conditions and the fault may return and kick your car back into safe mode again... sometimes 5 miles sometimes 500 miles... depending on the severity. So good luck and I really hope that maybe you just had a loose connection or light corrosion on your plug that cleaned itself from plugging and unplugging lol.

Lol I'm taking it on the highway now to see if it acts up or it comes back on but we'll see hopefully it doesn't come back on but if it does I'll see what else it could be .. I changed the air filters also they looked kinda dirty . I'm a girl btw 💁 lol

Oh sorry lol... nice to know that at least you are performing all these steps on your own haha... I would have cleaned the MAF sensors anyways since they were already out hahaha but best wishes... hope everything goes well... if not, we can try out a few more things.
