Make sure you put MAF sensor pointing the right direction, there should be an arrow on it.

might just be a bad reading from the MAF but now thats it's all good I would just disconnect the battery for 15 minutes to clear the codes and turn off the check engine light then drive around a little and see if it comes back on.

The sensor in the intake is the Intake Air Temp sensor, not an O2 sensor. O2 sensors are in your exhaust.

Now that you have the MAF problem sorted out, the CEL will eventually shut off, but the car's performance will be limited until then.

You can reset it yourself by removing the negative battery cable overnight.
