The MAF does not look all that suspect here. Again, trying to make a determination of any problem with a single snap shot of data is very dangerous. This is why more data can and is useful.

Cleaning a MAF rarely solves problems from my experience. Some may find this works, but often there may be other reasons the "cleaning" seems to help. Maybe this is because the MAF connector was disconnected and reconnected, maybe this is because a small post MAF leak was corrected by coincidence when the MAF was removed and reinstalled.

I have run into a few similar cases in the past few weeks where the Fuel System Status is in error and for some reason the O2 sensor Voltage is extremely low and not toggling because the fuel system is not operating.

Unfortunately at this moment I have not had any feedback on whether or not the problems were improved or solved.

The problem is it very hard to get a full picture about what is going on with a vehicle you cannot see or touch. I let the data tell the story and lead to a correction.

I also sometimes assume too much, think that someone has in fact gone over the basics when sometimes this is not the case. What I sometimes refer to the lookie, touchy, pokie, pulley test.

Regarding the data, when I have concrete information I will post links to graphs that the OP can download and post back to the thread and will explain what I have found and often may have before and after data so others can follow along and see exactly what was identified and corrected.

It takes a lot of my time and I have helped countless forum members on many forums. So sometime people need to be patient and understand where this all leads.

OBDFusion is a great App and is by far one of the best generic OBDII tool available. I am gald the OP purchased the App and used it. This App is far more useful than most people fully understand. You do not need to start with manufacturer specific tools, often they are no better and even limited in what they can do. More forum members need to do this and fully understand how to use the App and benchmark their vehicle performance.
