Re: Poop's out at higher RPM's while accelerating

you can also just disconnect the battery for a few mins to reset the computer, thats the easiest way to clear a code in a hurry.

Disconnecting the battery negative or positive cable doesn't clear all DTC error codes especially if they are Class A. MAF sensor errors are typically Class A.

Sometimes it works on pending (PD) or some Class B like evaporative emissions small leak, ie gas cap.

If the battery is disconnected it may have to be done for a longer period of time such as at least 1 hour or overnight. Also, make sure the radio Theftlock is not active or you have your codes. And if you have a digital dual climate control system make sure it is turned off before shutting down and disconnecting the battery or you may get uneven A/C cooling between the driver and passenger side.

Investing in a odb-ii scanner doesn't cost that much if you plan on working on your own problems, not become dependent on Autozone or the dealer or relying on a field expedient procedure that may or may not work.
