I'd give it some time to see if things smooth out.
The MAP sensor should be cleaned since its in the same airflow as the recirculated fuel/oil/air mixture from the PCV system. Its located on the top of the plastic manifold assembly that had to be removed to do your walnut blast. The MAP can be removed from the top of the intake manifold by with a couple of screws and cleaned with cheap MAP/MAF cleaner from any autoparts store. With 135K on your odometer, you should definitly clean it.

Just for clarification: the sensor on the charge pipe is a map sensor. Cleaning it does nothing as they sense pressure.
The one you are referring to is a Maf sensor on the intake manifold. Yes cleaning them can help smoothness. Worth a shot.
