I went thru the same thing just a few months ago, same symptoms, same cleaning, same research, same troubleshooting...
The garage is going to put a scanner on your car, See the MAF code and throw a new MAF on it. Why not save the diagnostic fee and their markup and put a new MAF on it? Persoanlly I would try another junkyard pull off a lower mileage car.
Another thing to consider is that the low voltage code can also mean that air is getting in unmetered (ie - not thru the TB) which is why I suggested checking for an intake/vacuum leak. That code basically means the computer is seeing that the maf reading is much too low for the rpm'* the engine is turning.

Thanks for the info, What is the easiest way to test for vacuum? If when I get home next weekedn if there is still issues then all try more troublwahooting but kinda screwed because of travelling with work. Gonna give the garage very specific instructions and hope they dont screw around I have old MAF and junk Yard pull I really doubt both are bad but I have been wrong before. Still can't understand why it doesnt seem to be an issue most of the time and did get better with replacment

A spray bottle of water or a can of carb cleaner usually works well. Spray it on and if it the fluid gets sucked in theres a leak there.
Do you know anyone else with a 3800 that you could borrow their MAF?
As for the yard pull, if the body is still good then the car'* not there because it was running great; if you know what I mean. I'd pull from that was hit in the rear.
My wifes Olds did the same thing, would run fine for weeks at a time then BOOM - Check Engine. IT was frustrating to say the least.
