My check engine light came on and I went to Auto Zone to check the codes. The code came up as MAF Sensor, which I replaced. The car was idling very poorly with of extremely low rpm's when standing. The check engine light is still on and thecar performance has not improved.I cleared the codes at auto zone again, but the check engine light came back.Acceleration is good and the car starts perfectly fine.
What should my next step be?

clean the passage of the MAF sensor, check the air filter and clean the EGR valve as well
