I recently just fixed cylinder 2 misfiring(fuel injector connector) and started to do a log to start tuning the car. Well, my MAFraw at idle was really low sitting around 35 hz at 1k rpm. My stft went up to 16.8 and then later dropped to 5.1 and did not move at all. My LTFT's did not move from 0.0 the whole time. My o2 sensor seems like its cycling although maybe not enough. The car idles really high around 1500 now, and there is not a boost leak. I pulled the MAF connector and i noticed a little corrosion so i took a brush put a little baking soda/water mixute and cleaned the MAF connector and where it connects itself. The car then started and a second later died right out. I then pulled the plug and started it right up it sat around 1100 rpms, i plugged the connector back in and the car idles up to around 1500-1700. I also took an ohm meter and tested all the wires at the end of the connector while its running and all but two wires read 0.L.Do i have a bad maf/maf connector or does my problem lie somewhere else. Here is a log i took last night before brushed the connector.

I'm on a work computer so no dsmlink to look at your log however, I'm pretty sure I can tell whats going on from what you explained.

A 35Hz MAF reading suggests a vacuum leak from a vacuum hose around the TB or the IM.

Are you running a oil catch can setup by any chance, if you don't have it installed properly this too could cause idle issues. You could have a boost/vacuum leak between the MAF and the turbo, you might want to check your intake connections as well... If none of these are the case I'd ask a DSM buddy to borrow a 2g MAF to make sure thats not the cause of the problem.
