reset fuel trims by unplugging the MAF sensor, while running

As stated above, I've unplugged the MAF sensor many times in the past, when the cumulative values (LTFT + STFT, for each bank) would go past 20 (maybe 25, it's been awhile, so I forget which), and prevent the SES/CEL from happening. I didn't want to go into limp mode, especially if I was far out of town.

That's also the reason I had 3 MAF sensors with me for 3.5 years, and would swap in a fresh, clean one after reset. That worked OK, if not perfect, until my oreiginal OEM Siemens MAF went nuts and instantly set codes, & SES, and caused driveability problems once, out of town, and I had to quickly exit the highway to insatll a backup.

That was just prior to X5chemist sending me his spare Siemens MAF, which I'm testing (if ever so slowly). So far, the X is seeming to relearn, keeping the fuel trim number reasonable, but still on the lean side.
