Question about the MAF
Ok Well I'm Back. I went outside after my car was warm and all of my situations I explained in my last posts.
Thanks to Petes advice I decided to go outside and drive my car while it acted up. I pulled off to the side and unplugged the MAF. It seemed to idle much much more easier and drive much better.
I'm just wondering, Can I leave the MAF unplugged? I'm going to see if that helps my problem. If thats my problem I will have the MAF replaced. But for the next few days Im just wondering if I can leave it unplugged.
I'm really hoping this was my whole problem and now I've found it.
Thanks Pete for your advice.
I'll let ya know in about an hour or so if that was my problem.

RE: Question about the MAF
You can drive with the MAF unplugged, and it won't hurt the car, but the performance and mileage won't be at their best. It could be that the MAF is bad, but not necessarily, as it could be some other sensor. The MAF is expensive, so get it tested before buying a new one, or you could borrow one from a good running car & see if it makes a difference.
