Check the code I'm pulling is 34 so I guess my MAF sensor is bad I disconnected the battery cleaned it out with MAF cleaner put it back in the clip to the connector is broken but it pushes in enough and I zip-tied it that make it secure still pulling code 34 guess it's time to replace them if there's anybody out there has one

You did clear the codes? disconnect battery and reconnect after at least ten seconds?
Code 34 is mass airflow sensor low, can you see the hot wire in the maf is it intact? do not touch it !
Sometimes the connectors can get corroded, remove and refit the plug several times.
If you still have a code 34 buy a new MAF sensor.
