I already cleaned my MAF several months ago by soaking it in brake cleaner (non-chlorinated). It seemed to help a bit, but it didn't cure the main problem.

Anyway, as for the injectors, I pulled them out and watched them squirt while cranking the engine, and as far as I could see they are all perfectly unclogged.

I also replaced my oxygen sensors and that didn't help either. The old ones had been exposed to some silicone so it might have been worthwhile to replace them anyway... maybe.
