MAF reading also sounds very high, over reporting, which will cause more fuel to be added to the engine. Most 3.0l will have a MAF reading of 3.6 g/s in park/neutral @ 700 RPM.

If your MAF reading is really in the 7+ g/s range, you have a problem, but also make sure the IAT problem is not impacting the MAF reading/conversion. IAT readings also impact ignition timing as well. I would bet your LTFT are in the negative range, which they should not be.

Suggest you consider the OBDFusion App, $1 cheaper than Torque and not at buggy. OBDFusion along with the VeePeak BT interface from Amazon is less than $20. OBDFusion is also available for iProducts, the App and interface for an iProduct platform is typically under $30. iProducts typically require a Wifi interface rather than a BT interface.

You can also use the App to Log the O2 sensors and this will show you what kind of health the catalytic converters are in, you may have already done damage and caused them to melt down. Typically you need an exhaust back pressure tester, although a compression tester may work, it usually does not do a very good job at low pressure reading. You can get a proper tester for around $37 - Amazon.com: Tool Aid 33600 Exhaust Back Pressure Tester: Home Improvement
There's a free version for Torque, but I found the app to be very helpful that I brought the Pro Version of Torque to support the developer. I have used it on all of my cars with OBD II and never had a problem with it or found it to be buggy. You can check out the reviews by other users before downloading the app.
