P0101 : Mass air flow (MAF) sensor circuit range/performance problem
I had one eventually go out on a Buick Lesabre I owned...you can clean it...just be very careful with it. And don't use alcohol...a cotton swab and little water will work fine...the exposed metal in the MAF sensor is very sensitive (I believe its platinum wires wrapped around ceramic bobbins...not the bass fishing type either LOL). If you're a real geek...put voltimeter on the the thing...when the one I had in the LeSabre went...it wasn't putting out any voltage readings at all. Bottom line is that when air passes over the sensor...a voltage reading should be realized and sent to the ECM...if that voltage reading is out of range or not present...the MAF needs to be replaced.
