Did the MAF reading really give you a number of lbs per second? I've never seen a scan tool do that. It's usually always grams per second (g/s) or pounds per minute (lb/m). Because
0.02lbs/s comes out to be 0.15 grams per second. That is almost nothing at all. I think you need to check the powers and grounds to that sensor, and possibly the signal wire going to the ECM. If the voltage is too low, or there's a bad ground to the sensor, both will limit the sensors' ability to work properly. If there's 12-volts and a good Ground to the sensor, then I would check that the signal wire is not going through a corroded connector on its way to the ECM. With a positive Short Term fuel trim like that the ECM is definitely adding almost its maximum amount of fuel it can. It can be a lack of fuel, but on the other side of things, with a MAF reading that low and high fuel trims it looks like a huge vacuum leak. If those numbers are correct from the MAF.
Here's what to do first: verify good power and ground to sensor, with key on engine off. I will look up what kind of signal the ECM is looking for really quick, some MAFs signal with frequency. The frequency will increase as air flow increases. It's better to do some testing, even with a multimeter before replacing any more parts. You can do a fuel pressure test if you want to, but the MAF reading is definitely off. You can do the power and ground check with the sensor unplugged at just Key On. And check it using the sensors ground and then battery negative. A bad ECM ground can affect a sensor as well. I'll look up the testing for the MAF signal for you
Is it not setting any codes at all?
And does your scan tool have any options to look at the I/M readiness monitors?
I also see that this vehicle has a secondary air injection system. Sometimes when the air diverter valve doesn't switch over (or off) and air is continually pumped into the exhaust when it shouldn't be, the oxygen sensors will see that as a seriously lean condition and fuel trims will rise. But the vehicle should be able to sit and idle for a few minutes and then be driven at part throttle up to 45mph for at least 3 minutes to run its active tests and then the IM readiness monitor for the AIR system should read yes/ or ok.
Okay, the operation of the MAF goes as follows. The Pink wire should be 12volts, the Black/White wire is Ground. And the Signal wire is the yellow wire, the yellow wire should read 5 volts and will output a 0v to 5volt square wave signal, that signal will increase in Frequency when air flow increases and should read about 2000Hz at idle. This is the type of sensor I would check with an oscilloscope, but if your scan tool reads live engine data PIDs there will be a reading for the MAF signal.
