Is it throttle by wire? and it is not good for the maf to be cleaned. ruins a lot of them.

Have an Autozone near you? Have them read the code.

It's fine and recommended to clean the MAF. You just need to be careful and use the proper cleaner.

A high or eradic idle can be caused by a vaccuum leak. Check and make sure you didn't knock any vaccuum lines off while changing the plugs.
