    Better off getting a new one , they tend to go back after 70-100k miles depends on how long it's been in the engine , but if you take it out and clean every 30k miles (when you swap out air filter) then it can prolong the life out the MAF

    Could be this if you haven't changed your air filter in a while , they tend to get backed up with dirt and debris , making the engine think it's not getting any air flow, so try that. Also check purge valve , they tend to go bad aswell causing the engine to stall, making it think it's not getting enough fuel to the engine
