problem found....
seem to have located the source of the problem, well the mechanic did... my parents took my car to their mechanic, cuz they got tired of me screwing with it I guess I dont know, I slept in, and there was a note on my desk saying they took it down there...
mechanic called, the intake gasket failed by one of the runners... so Ive literally got a huge vacuum leak, which is what is causing my MAF to read low voltage and is causing the car to run lean..
told me they can replace them for cheap... I dont really feel like doing it, so whatever...

I wouldent pay someone for a intake manifold gasket.
that's $30 in gaskets max, and 3hr's of work max.
easy stuff.
i know how it feel's, i poped a intake gasket when i had a little back fire, and it sucked trying to figure it out. once i reolized what happened i felt dumb

Don't feel dumb, most of you guys don't see the volume of problems like a Mechanic does, nor have specialized training and machines.
Even the most experienced Mechanic would have trouble finding the vacuum leak at the EGR SOLENOID housing(below the black cap), if you run into that one, common ISSUE.
I use the smoke machine with vapor dye and a UV light, to find vac leaks very easy, the same principal(dye) for oil leaks, and coolant leaks and EVAP issues

this is the first thing they have done for me in a while... they were tired of me taking up the garage and borrowing their cars... (I didnt want to drive my car a whole lot)
and I slept in becuase it was my first day off work in 9 days...
but anyway... I dont really have the time to do it myself anyway... been working way too much...
