DO NOT blow air on the sensors. It won't clean them and could damage them if the air pressure is high. Just buy the Air flow sensor cleaner. I used car cleaner on mine, but someone said that is too harsh. Don't know if that true or not.

Thanks, I'll try clean them tomorrow.

I have HFC, and I recently Untuned my car, and this problem started occurring (but I doubt it's related to any of these reasons). I wonder if it could be a result of a weak battery...

I messaged Gongo, because he had a similar problem. Here is his thread:

He stated "I don't recall exactly but first I cleaned up the throttle body assembly. I later on experienced a similar issue but it was the factory battery weak on its deathbed. It died on me after 1.5 years and i replaced it with an optima red-top."

Hope you solve the issue, and if you do, let me know.

Dnt take it to a dealership, they'll bull u and will try to charge u double. Best bet is a Z special shop around your location.

Original battery isn't maintenence free, so it might need water or replacing. One of the plastic rsoonators may be cracked or a hose clamp may be loose. Run the car, while running spray carb cleaner along the intake tracts. If the idle changes you found your leak.

Failing that, an exhaust leak anywhere near the primary O2s can cause these problems as can faulty mafs.

After that it might be failed throttle bodies, which allegedly is not uncommon for this motor.

You are under warranty on drive train for 50 k so taking it to the dealership isn't necessarily a bad idea after doing own troubleshooting.
