    Sounds like a leak, ground issue or throttle body isn't connected to harness or poor connection to MAF. Dirty MAF also never helps

    I checked for vacuum leaks, didn’t have any. I also tested the booster. And cleaned the MAF. Didn’t see a change.

    It has to be either a leak or a bad maf

    Check the wiring, check the connector and check that it's not installed backwards first

    OEM only. Aftermarket is trash.

    Advice so far from above is all helpful too.
