Default WOT = RPM Gauge Flucuates drops motor shuts off then on

Strangest thing happened...

All I did was floor it in first, when I went to drop it in second i noticed the RPM Gauge jumped stopped then shut off completely all lights came on, the motor seemed off and back on. All this happened so quickly that the only reason I noticed was because the car backed off big time on power.

Car is stock other then the JWT intake. Checked for a loose filter but nothing. I did search but found nothing as well. I'm a bit clueless on this one and kind of scared to gun it again.

I've also had it were I use my auto start and the car would not start up rite away or when i go to start it, itll start then shut rite off. This does not happen all the time but enough to catch my attn.

Clean your MAF, check for codes.

No Codes, no check engine lights. What do I use for cleaning said MAF?

hit up an autozone or other auto store for some type of MAF cleaning spray.
