I have change the charcoal canister as the car was cutting off fuel flow from the nozzle when refueling, which has stopped.
I collected a working MAF sensor from a friends car drove it for days, the codes came back 4days later.
Changed air filter
Checked for vaccum leaks
I checked the fuel trims
LTFT is -30% STFT is 1.6%
Codes keeps coming back especially the p0172 & P0101
Kindly assist me please as I am tired. I have also taken the car to 3diffrent auto mechanic, still no solution.
Kindly work me through on how I can diagnose it myself as the auto mechanic we have here can’t seem to provide solution. I don’t have a big OBD2 scanner, I have the phone app own .

The gas cap is tight as I changed it not too long ago.
I disconnected the purge valve as advised then start the car, there is no flow. LTFT remains -29% though, it was -10% when I first started the vehicle as it starts warming up it jumps to -29%
Maf PID fluctuates between 3.89 - 4.18g/s
No long crank time as the car starts quick at once
No issues starting after refueling.

Should read around 2.5vg/s at idle suspect faulty MAF sensor causing ECM to subtract fuel.

The reading of 3.8 to 4.8 g/s was that with the engine running at idle? If you can, what is the MAF voltage at idle.
The MAF wiring on your XLE. To be on the same page, is it 5 wires. 1 Pink, 1 Green with a Red stripe, 1 Black with a White stripe, 1 Green and 1 Brown or Tan.
Do you know how to back probe a wire? I will be asking you to take voltage measurements with the MAF connector plugged in and unplugged.

There are 5wires white, light red,yellow,purple and light green.
I can try to back probe it. But I don't think the multimeter pin would fit in at the connector when the MAF is connected
