Exclamation 95 5.0 Gt running rich on both sides?

I took it to the Ford dealership, it was running crappy and had very poor gas mileage, it did not have a check engine light on, they found a code that said it was running rich on both sides, they said it could possibly be the MAF. I took it apart and cleaned a bunch of crap off the hot wire with rubbin alcohol and cue tips very carefully. It ran better than it did, but still not a 100%. I changed the plugs and wires just to make sure, the plugs i took out werent bad at all. Im a dead end on ideas, could anyone help me out please? Thank You.

also, don't ever, ever use alcohol or any chlorinated substance to clean the MAF.
You're lucky it still works.
