So apperentyl my car is throwing the code for the MAF. It seems to run fine, except for sometimes after iv been driving for a while the cars idle will not drop, or it will start to stutter a little bit. DO these seem lie symptoms of a bad MAF snesor, i possibly sometihng else?

Don't know if this helps but I'll throw it out there anyway.
I had a problem with my Camaro, same engine as yours, where it would stutter when driving at a low speed. I changed the cap, rotor, plugs, wires, did the timing like 10 times, changed the oil.
Well, when I got my car inspected the dude told me that my Air Temp Sensor (the sensor that is on the dual snorkel or air canister, aka Air Discharger i think) was bad. I told him how I was having that stuttering problem and he told me that it was because of that sensor. The sensor was telling the computer that there was a lot of Hot Air and therefor the gave the engine more gas which cause the stuttering.
I would say do the timing and change that sensor. If that doesn't work then maybe it's the TPS. Just throwing stuff out there that might be the prob.

If the car actually drives fine, then I doubt the MAF is actually bad. You'll get a MAF code if you have a small vacuum leak. Check the vacuum tree on the lower intake manifold where the PCV line comes off(driver's side, rear of LOWER intkae manifold) for loose caps/hoses and the hoses for the EVAP canister, they are the most likely to give you a MAF without affecting drivability.

Check to see if the MAF is clean and if the wire is on tight first. Your car will also run horribbly with that intake temp sensor going bad. It happened to me and the car ran so much better than before.

Sorry to be a thread stealer, but I'm having a problem with mine. I replaced my fan motor assembly and accidentally ran the car with the air intake connecting tube (including MAS) disconnected, while waiting to see if the new fan would kick on. Now it's throwing code 33 & 34. I clear them, they come right back when I start the car. How do I fix this problem? Do I have to drive the car a lot, or go to the junkyard and get another sensor?
