Video of my car running badly. Need help diagnosing plz..

Here is a video of my car running badly. I placed my phone on my dash holder and was trying to go up a small hill with the car. The shaking and shuddering is from it cutting out. I think it might be the maf going bad but it's not throwing a code for it.. Any help in diagnosing it would help alot. I gotta get it fixed today or asap!! Thanks

It's throwing codes for
P1447 Evap control system purge flow monitoring
P0142 Heated O2 sensor bank1 sensor 2

He replaced the MAF (Mass Air Flow) Sensor as seen below:




It's under the hood, driver side.

Do a search and you'll find countless threads.

Your local junkyard should have a used maf for around $40 - $60..

Make sure you reset your ecu after you install it..
After I installed my new (junkyard) maf I forgot to reset my check engine light (ecu reset), I took it for a test drive and acceleration and throttle response were much better. But it did start to shake and shutter once during my test drive. I got it home and reset the ecu and it's been running fine ever since..
