I'm having a similar issue. They make a MAF spray you can get at any auto parts store. I needed 2 cans to completely clean the inside and sensor. I cleaned it like new but my problem still exist. I took it in for a fuel cleaning and the check engine light went out and it seem to run fine for a few hours. The problem came back.
My pathfinder idles fine and runs without error if I baby the gas pedal. If I punch the gas slightly, it hesitates.
All these actions with no success:
Cleaned MAF (as suggested here)
Changes vacuum hoses
Changes spark plugs
Changes vacuum solenoid ($150 part)
The only thing that worked temporarily was running fuel injection cleaner and running the cars on the highway for around 75 miles. Problem went away for 6 months. I tried it again to no success.
I can't take it to the dealer as when I last did, both my back shocks went out at the same time shortly after the service (only 50k on the car when services).
Any help on this forum would be appreciated. I know I'm not providing a solution but hopefully the readers on the forum will see more than one person has such a symptom.
