Default Mk4 jetta mass air flow sensor

My 99 jetta keeps throwing off the code p1128. Could this be because of my cai? Or do I need to get a new one?

Try cleaning it first. Get a bottle of that mass air sensor cleaner, like at oreilly, napa or any other car parts store. Also, look for any vacuum leaks on that intake booth.
If you do end up needing a new mass air sensor. go to germanautoparts.com. They have good deals on parts for VWs.
Hope this helps.

Alright I'll give that a try and see what happens. Hopefully it does just need to be cleaned.

My car also threw the code b0423. I know his is for the body but I'm not sure what exactly for or how to fix it.

It's a 1999.5 2.0l aeg. I was doing some research on it and i found that depending on what scan tool is being used it will give different codes. It also said that the b0423 code could also be p1176. Is this correct?

Yes, your correct. That code doesn't even exist, if you look it up starting with the P.
So.. that's the only code.
The code your giving me actually means SAEVAGDescriptionP112817536Long Term Fuel Trim mult., Bank 1 System too Lean
Which it could be lots of things.. You should deff. inspect all the vacuum hoses, specially the braided ones. Check the exhaust for any leaks.
Also, check the secondary air inj. system. I sure hate that system cause is worthless...
The other thing check the fuel pressure. It could also mean that the O2 sensor might be going bad. But, yeah first try cleaning that mass air meter sensor and go from there. I can access alldata. Let me know if you need instructions on anything.

I cleaned the MAF it had a good bit of dirt on it. I also erased the codes on my car and so far the light is staying off. I just hope it stays off.

I did clean the maf. It worked good for about a month and a half. However now my car is giving 4 codes this time. P0440, p1582, p0171 and b0423. I did a little research and it looks like they are all pointing to the tb. Is this correct and if so what should I do?
