Default check engine light p0102

hi i recently installedmy vibrant exhaust about a week or 2 later my car started jerking back and forth between shifts especially when the engine is cold. every now and then the CEL comes on but goes off. this is the code i got(i had to buy an obd2 because its now illegal for autozone to rent them out in california now!!!!!!!- bulll****tt) p0102-mass or volume cicuit low input. once again my car jerks bad and forth rpms going up and down once shifting making me put clutch in and add more gas to stabilize it out a bit which hardly works. really annoying when accelerating. any heeelp??

'Hate to say it nick, but it's always the MAF sensor. These things are more problems than they are worth, imo. PITA.
I've had 4 in mine now, the OE from the factory, a "rebuilt" one from AZ, and the 2 the dealer installed. The first of those lasted 25.2 miles before I got another CEL.
If I recall, you have an '05, right? If so there is a TSB on the ground wire to the MAF which could be part of the problem. An easy fix, though the dealer did not do it to mine, and so far, so good.
