Have you not connected the 2 black connectors together that are under your dash (next to the green ones?) to show you any error codes (ensuring the engine is off as well as the ignition whilst connecting/disconnecting them)?

Turn the ignition off and under the steering column you will find two black connectors ... connect them together and then turn the ignition on and watch the check engine light. It will pulse out the error code (or codes in rotation).
Codes are as follows:
11 Crankshaft position sensor
12 Starter switch
13 Camshaft position sensor
21 Engine coolant temperature sensor
22 Knock sensor
23 Mass air flow sensor
24 Idle air control solenoid
31 Throttle position sensor
32 Oxygen sensor
33 Vehicle speed sensor 2
35 Purge control solenoid valve
42 Idle switch
44 Wastegate control solenoid valve
45 Pressure sensor / Pressure exchange solenoid valve
51 Neutral position switch
i.e 2 slow and 3 fast = 23 Mass Airflow sensor.

I'd try this first; check the connections on the maf and clean if necessary. Reset engine light (disconnect batt for 30mins) take it for a drive and see if the engine light comes back on. If it does and throws the same code then new maf I'm afraid.

I would take it to someone who knows what they are doing in all honesty ..... saying that, brake cleaner squirted on the inside of the MAF has, as a last resort, brought many a MAF back into service.
Common fault on these cars and can lead to engine failure in extreme cases so best to replace every few years just to be sure.
