Yep your right , some punctuation would help. The first sign is the 02 sensors. That's the first giveaway with those symptoms. Run the codes and see what you have, then go from there. My advice...

Code 52-knock sensor circuit failure(check the wiring before buying a sensor when I threw this code it was due to the sensor wire being separated during my head gasket replacement)
Never thrown 31, but I think that's for either high, or low airflow meter voltage?..clean, or replace the maf

Be CAREFUL whenever you clean the MAF. Never, ever put anything smaller than a grapefruit inside your MAF as the electronics are fragile. Use a cleaner solvent specifically for MAFs to clean it out.

I've actually seen people use a toothbrush to scrub it out with soapy water. Needless to say the toothbrush and the soapy water wrecked that MAF permanently. We used it the next week during our weekly GTG to play broom hockey.
