after taking off tb for cleaning including idle air control valve, and putting back together, the car will start but idles really bad and when i give it gas it backfires and won't idle above 1000 rpm. i also have a cel after installing k&n air filter. took out maf sensor and cleaned several times, put original filer back in , erased codes (1123/1125/1128/1130), but it keeps coming back. any way to check these 2 sensors with multi-meter?

1123 and 1125 means the air/fuel ratio is to rich and it can't lean it out any more.Make sure theres nothing stuffed into the intake,i.e.shop rag etc. 1128 and 1130 means its too lean.Cleaning a maf sensor is never recommended because it gets contaminated with the cleaner.K-n filters often damage maf sensors if to much oil is on the filter.To sum up,make sure the intake is not blocked and you will probably need a new maf sensor.Hope this helps.
