MAF cleaner or throttle body cleaner.

Pull it off, spray it with TB or MAF cleaner like rxsteven said. Then let it sit for a minute to dry. Spray it agin if its still dirty. The tiny "pill shaped" sensors between the metal bars need to be silver and free of heavy dirt and debris. Then pit it all back together. Bada Boom you done. Do you TB real good too. Open the butterfly and spray it all out, wipe it with a rag, etc.

Ok i cleaned the maf but still no luck. I also check the fuses for the fuel pump and they are ok. so should i assume its the fuel pump? Im also going to change the fuel filter today and see if that helps.

Alright guys check it out, it turns out my fuel pump is fine it looks like i had a bad MAF sensor. I tried cleaning it but i ended up buying a jet performance one instead. I also bought the K&N CAI but now it looks like im misfiring on one of the cylinders. the truck runs now and stays on but im losing power. I checked all the plugs but could it be the spark plug wires. I tried checking the wires in the dark to see if i could see anyspark and i did see a little from where the wires connect to the coils but is this normal? I am also getting a check engine light that blinks only when i step on the gas. If i am just idling it just stays lit. I thought my truck was goign to be ready to haul *** but now this. WTF? Please help!!!!

No, there should be no visible spark at all! Is it the wire or the coil? Propbably need new wires. Try that first. Then if it still messes up I would remove the MAF sensor and get a factory one. The aftermarket ones can screw with the engine AFR and Fuel Trims.
