You can't tell if the MAF is clean just by looking. CLEAN IT.
Then check or verify that you have already checked/changed the following...
Throttle body: EGR PORTS on 90degree elbow (definately in the top 5)
Trottle body should be cleaned as well
EGR: Ensure that the egr valve is operating properly, remove it, clean it and see if the plunger moves freely
Fuel Filter: How long since you changed it?
Carbon: Sea-foam the engine by slowly pouring 1/2 bottle of seafoam into the PCV valve or hose, allow the engine to stall or have a friend turn it off when you reach half a bottle. Let it sit for 15-20 minutes, go for a VERY BRISK drive employing many WOT opportunities. The smoke pouring out of the tailpipe will be carbon. The bottle says to pour the remainder in the fuel tank but whenever I have done this in the past, it pings for the remainder of that tank.
