Default Need Help - Error Code

Today I got Check Engine and VSC lights on...
I went to the Autozone and check the code - only one code P1135 which is Manufacture Control Fuel Air Metering which I think is a MAF sensor

I went to PepBoys and bought some MAF (Air sensor) cleaner, sprayed it, reset the light but it came back after 5 min of driving

Can someone please let me know where should I start looking and checking.
I know I can buy a new sensor but I am not sure if it will fix the problem.

Any ideas?

Thank you!

There are two sensors in MAF, did you clean both? Search this forum if you don't know where they are.

Never mind, I thought that it Air flow (MAF) sensor that sits rights after the Air filter but it looks like I need to change O2 sensor...
