Cold start, car sometimes shakes or chokes
I read a bunch of stuff on it and it seems like cleaning my MAF sensor might remedy this problem. I haven't cleaned it or done anything to the sensor since I got it a a month or two ago and plan on trying to clean it this weekend. I don't have any check engine lights but if I let the rpms drop below 2000 RPMS right when I first start the car in the morning it will feel like the car chokes or shakes a little bit. Do you guys think that's what the issue is? I don't ever notice it after about 3-4 minutes of driving max. And usually when I get off work it still warm enough to drive normally still although when I take my break I turn it on again. What do you guys think? If you need more info I will be glad to give it. Thank you!
Also, since I am making a thread, what do you guys think of these headlights?

I need new ones as my left front light is a little ruined, I tried this plastic clear coat after I cleaned it and it didn't work too well. My cleaning process worked well for the right front light. I wish I would have tested on something other than my light ugh.
Don't think this is the issue but I do have a G.A.B. installed since you guys like knowing if any MODs were done. Thank you.

Clean your MAF. Pay attention to the thermistor - make sure there is no dirt or contact problems. If in doubt, replace it - the best thing I have done for my car, and I waited too long.
