That evil light on the instrument panel , you know, the one with the old fashioned looking engine decided it needed to light up my life last night. Car is missing it's shift points ( automatic) and idles a little high, around 1,000 rpm. This happened last year, after I cleaned the air filter, and it resolved after a fellow FC.net member cleaned the MAF sensor. Does anyone know where I can get the proper toll to remove the MAF sensor screws? If that doesn't work, I'll get an OBD2 read.

you can get them at crappy tire. It's just a safety torx bit (a T20 I think).

canadian tire has this..

$29.99
Product #25-6272-8
Features
Popular sizes for specialized tamper-proof star fasteners found on radios, instrument mountings and other applications
Includes handy storage/organizer tray

however, I bought a mastercraft bit set with a tiny, open-ended socket wrench -- the kit cost maybe $30 at the most and came with the assortment of bits including tamper-proof torx.

The problem has been solved, thanks to a fellow Durham Region FC.net member, SL8RZZX3. Nice car, by the way...... :D
I'll pick up a set before I clean the filter again. Thanks Gentlemen for all your assistance.
