will have to check that...is that the little black plastic plug in the airbox?? how would you go about cleaning that without damaging it?

That would likely be the IAT (Intake air temperature) sensor.

Small black electronic sensor right on top of throttlebody. MAP sensor go off pressures and MAF sensors go by airflow. Let me see if I can get a pic of it...

x2 on the injector cleaner. most of the ones that ive seen are snake oil, so i really dont know of any company other than amsoil or BG to look into for that. other than that, i would have the fuel pump/filter checked as well
