MAF or EGR..?

Ok today was on my way home from an interview (got the job) and as i was coming down express way i was trying to accelerate which it did but was slightly sluggish..so i wrinkled my face looked at my shifter looked at my feet as most of us do when we feel something wrong...and maybe 2 miles down the road my engine light came on..went to the next auto parts store used the obd and got the codes p0400 and p0325..which is my MAF EGR and a possible knock sensor...i know the maf will have to replaced asap..but i think us 5spd guess usually never know when our knock sensors go out cause it isnt as noticable and the autos feel it right away when thers go out..what to do i need a cheap fix if possible

Not sure what you mean, because P0400 is EGR code. Really has nothing to do with the MAF. EGR valve stuck open could cause both the code & the driveability issues though.

so where u work now??

anyways, i highly doubt you'd feel anything from an EGR code, i had one forever until i finally found the right part to replace. its not as simple to diagnose. I vote for knock sensor! I felt a huge difference when i first changed mine out.

and whats wrong wrong with Advance auto scanners??

well, if your maf was shot then it would be a real noticable difference in driving. I'm going to say it's the EGR, especially since thats the code that came up.
