when the CEL is on, you have to have the codes read, even if only by someone at AutoZone (they'll do it for free with a universal OBSII device). if you're throwing codes 1073 and/or 1077, it's probably a bad MAS [your cleaning technique is intriguing, but most posts I've read don't give me much confidence in any cleaning method]. do a search of CEL or AMM, MAS or MAF; somewhere there's some great advice by blackmercedes that pertains to replacing the air filter and cleaning out it's housing often to avoid fouling the MAS. if you don't want to spend the $300 for a new MAS, try ebay: I just bought one for $40 and another for $30. but correct the fault first, or you'll just fry another MAS.
