If indeed it is the MAF, you can try to CLEAN the maf... read here on how to...

i got a service engine soon light today and i-drive said increased emissions, i went to autozone to have the obd read. guy told me the code is p1434 and looked it up on his computer and the code came up for a Volkswagen on his computer which was weird but the definition it gave was secondary air injection pump realy circuit short to positive anyone know what i need to replace to fix this? the car is out of warranty.

My OBDII scanner gave the same code for the same fault.

I would trust myself with an OBDII scanner anyday before trusting the kids who work at Autozone, Pep Boys, etc.
