2004 XC70 MAF sensor reading Problems? Fluctuating Idle

[Build]

Hello,

My 2004 XC70 is having fluctuating idle speed (500-1200)/stalling at idle problems. It runs great except at idle.

I have the following codes

P2188 -system too rich
261A - long term trim
262A - long term trim

The throttle body is clean and smoke test showed no vacuum leaks. The spark plugs, coils, filters, etc are new or fairly new.
I checked the signal from the MAF which showed fairly steady 1.58-1.6v at idle (cold), 1.16-1.18v idle (warm). If I accelerate slowly the reading is goes to 2.4v at 2000rpm, 3.2v at 3000rpm. If I accelerate quickly the voltage goes to 0 when I open the throttle, then recovers to shown readings. The car accelerates strongly, no hesitation.

Is this normal for the MAF?

Oddly enough, if I unplug the MAF, I get CEL and code for the MAF but the car idles perfectly smooth, no stalls, runs great. When I plug it back in, it goes back to fluctuating and stalling.

Ideas? Thanks, Jim

Have you cleaned the MAF sensor with MAF cleaner?

Don't make physical contact with the MAF Sensor active elements. You can break the wire(s) or damage the plate(s) with a slight contact, they are that fragile.

Rick, yes, the MAF has been cleaned with MAF cleaner. No physical contact. Thanks
