For starters you wou need a scanner to read the MAF Hz. It should be more than 1200 Hz.
Some things to externally check would be: a blockage to the MAF sen screen, vaccum leaks, If you don't see any of these things You could also try to clean the MAF with approved cleaner. I think Autozone etc sells a spray cleaner that can clean the sensor wire.

Here'* what you need to check. https://www.gmforum.com/t284077/#post1390963
Do you have a oiled air filter? These can coat the MAF wire and cause problems if over oiled.

It takes time for the oil to coat the wire. I'm willing to bet that was your problem. More oil don't make it work better. Just a lite spray is all that'* needed.
