Default MAF Problem Running Lean!

Recently CEL came on with some idle roughness and throttle inconsistency, brought car today to Toyota, the tech said DTC was for bank 1 and 2 running lean, and sourced it to the MAF not sealing correctly in the Spectre air intake. Tech replaced the MAF o-ring but same problem.

Ive had the intake for 5 years same MAF with no problems, so I dont know if the tech is right.

--replace the o-ring????
--replace the MAF????
--get a different air intake????
--could the RR tune be affecting it????

Have you tried using MAF-specific spray cleaner on the sending unit?

Yes, UPDATE TODAY--GREAT NEWS! The CEL went off by itself!! I figure the new o-ring around the MAF worked!
