Update 2: Pulled the MAF off completely and started checking for resistance on the pins with a multimeter, systematically moving across until I got a reading. I'm registering about 20~24 ohms on one of the pin combinations, the rest read nothing at all (5 pins, so 5x5 =25 combinations). This seems awfully high since most new parts im finding online should be in the 10ohm range. I may have found my culprit. Also, closed my front garage door and opened my back one to keep it as dark as possible, the cat isn't glowing at all after several minutes of idling. Not sure if that's enough, but the exhaust flow out the back feels strong too, I can feel the beat of each individual cylinder opening. itching for my wife to get home so I can compare hers.
