I have a 2007 Toyota RAV4 Limited with the 2.4L 4-cylinder and about 180,000 miles. The check-engine/VSC lights keep returning after the codes are cleared.
The main codes are P0102 (MAF circuit low input) and P0335 (crankshaft position sensor A circuit). I have also had P0420 previously.
Earlier the vehicle had rough idle/stalling and would sometimes restart and die. It is running considerably better now, but the codes have returned after driving it for a while.
I have already cleaned the MAF sensor and throttle body, checked/tightened the air intake and air-box connections, checked some vacuum hoses, and disconnected/reset the battery. An earlier freeze-frame showed an unusually low MAF reading and an intake-air-temperature reading around -40°F.
My main question: Since P0102 and P0335 are occurring together, should I be looking at two bad sensors, or could a shared wiring/connector/ground/ECM power issue cause both codes? What tests would you perform before replacing the MAF or crankshaft sensor?
I have an OBD-II scanner that can display live data, so if there are specific readings you want me to check while idling or driving, please tell me which ones.

Id check and measure the wires and plug leading to the maf sensor make sure they aren't damaged broken cracked ect..as for the cam sensor it can cuase hard starting rough idle dieing on the road after driving a while hard ti start back up till it cools a bit and the like plus this has been going on for a while right ? so id probably change them both ..it would most likely smooth out the running gain a little mpg and should get that toyota reliability back and should stop casting codes .good luck .
