The air pump turns on for about a minute as soon as you turn the car on. I know my car stumbles if I try to drive with the air pump on.

It only lasts less than a minute.

I need to get a code reader. Maybe go to Autozone and use one of theirs.

Any pictures of where to plug it in? My car didn't come with a manual.

Thanks
It is by your left foot attached to the top of the footwell. ask the autozone guy to help you. they are typically in the same spot in every car.

None. Porsche owners don't change light bulbs they just clean them.

If you look at the bottom of the MAF, you'll see a section that is like a "hook". It has an opening for the air to flow in. Look in there and you'll see the metallic sensor probe. The air flows past it and out a hole in the bottom. I sprayed cleaner on that and let it flow out the bottom hole. I did a couple 10-15 second shots. Let it dry at least 30 minutes. I'm still running fine and haven't put in the new one I bought. I figured I'd wait till it gives me the light again.
So, I started getting the P1123 and P1125 codes again. I installed the new MAF and things were fine. Then two weeks later I started getting the same codes again. I just pulled out the K&N CAI and reinstalled the stock air box. Cleaned the new MAF and it is running fine. Boy, I sure noticed the difference between the K&N CAI and the stock. I really miss the sound of the K&N, I guess I'll have to upgrade the exhaust...

Probably dirty plugs but don't tell him that.
