Went to Autozone and had a CEL checked out with the codes P0171 and P0174. The employee said that it's probably the MAF sensor and quoted a price of around $105 with a core charge of $45. I thought there was a way to clean the sensor with electronic parts spray. I will be selling the car later this year, but would like to get rid of the CEL.

NEVER accept a diagnosis from a person at AUtoZone.....
A P0171 & P0174 code, together, is almost ALWAYS a vacuum leak on a Contour. I wouldn't screw with MAF unless you want to risk messing it up. It happens.
