Well, voltage readings seemed good while driving to school this morning. The voltage jumped around like it should for the first sensors (sensors 1.) The second sensors also seemed good as they stayed constant.
What is a good reading for the g/s on the MAF?

The MAF readings are going to be different for everyone, it is going to be based on engine load, rpm, air density, how clean your air filter is....to many factors to give you a rough idea.
Mine hovers right around 12g/s or so I think on my drive to work, thats at 65mph on the highway with the cruise set and no a/c mostly level ground.

I'm going to see what mine says in the morning...
One more thing, I pulled out the MAF to clean it with MAF cleaner and I noticed that there were no thin wires inside. Instead there was a plastic housing with a hole in the front. Do I just squirt the spray in the little hole (like I already did) or is there more I need to do to throughly clean it?

Got a reading from the MAF...It's around .60 g/s when driving at 55 mph. Is this correct or is it too low?

It changes as the rpms/load/throttle go up, but the highest I have seen it was .60 g/s.
At idle it is even lower at .20 g/s.

My original numbers were wrong, I checked them today on my drive home from work.
At 65mph flat ground mid .50'sg/s, it went up while climbing hills, upto .67g/s.
Coasting down the exit ramp, .20g/s, stop light idling in gear, about 12g/s.
In my driveway, in park, lights off no a/c, .06g/s.

Clean yours again and make sure your air filter is clean, replace it if you are not sure.

I need to add, I have a roof rack and a winch bumper, so my engine is going to need more air.
