either way, get the maf checked. also, do a general search on the 850 forum, i think a one of the moderators listed the codes and what they meant.

do a search on how to retrieve the codes. the box is under the hood, next to the canister where you place the windshield washer fluid.

The MAF sensor can be cleaned. Dont just replace them altogether. Unless, If the damage is internal.
