could my MAF be going out?

when i shift to neutral the car dies while criusing sometimes, or it drops the rpms real low, then i have to rev it to keep it from stalling. drives kinda wierd also. so ses no codes.

could the maf be partially dead? or if its the MAF a code would come up? MAF looks fine. could it be a dirty TB causing the problem or something else, any and all input appriciated.

I remembered that same thing happend to me once and it was the result of a slight opening i had between the maf and the TB. My clamps on the intake came loose. I put that sucker together and all was better.

Hi, I have quick question as well, about my MAF. Ok, my car isn't running very well when I start my car up sometimes it stalls unless I hit the gas pedal. Also my car hasn't been running as quick as it should be or maybe that's how quick it is, because I lost in a race to a denali. SO I think im lacking my performance due to my MAF, after hearing other complaints that sound somewhat familiar. If it is my MAF and I wanted to clean it where is the MAF thanks you all for your time. because I shouldnt have lost to a denali I got a cattman y-pipe injen intake and a greddy evo cat-back.

Some previous posts mentioned that the coolant temperature sensor might be the culprit. It's a $27 part and it's easy to change.
