I cleaned it with alcohol and a qtip. It were perty nasty.
And no, I didn't reset the PCM
I did pull over right away, tho, and check/clear the code...

Cleaning it is a lot cheaper than fixing it. Couldn't hurt (as long as you don't break it)
And it turns out it may not have been the MAF Sensor. Did y'all know that when you forget to hook up the IAT sensor, the PCM thinks it'* -38* F????

Garb Pull the maf off you'll see that it basically consists of a fine wire going through a hole. Wet a q tip with rubbing alcohol and gently clean the wire. If the wire breaks you lose.
If the wire is very dirty and you are gentle, you win. That'* all there is to it. Probably the easiest fix possible.
