Re: MAF problem

ok so i am at the end of my rope. After the car started yesterday it ran well to work today. Coming home the check engine light came on. Initially ran well. It then shuddered and lost power all together. Car then died with all dash lights coming on. Car restarted but would immediate sputter and die. Did this 5 times. Finally got out and unhooked the new MAF. Car immediately started. Check engine light is on but car drove fine the rest of the way home.

A couple of questions:

1. any ideas what is going on. Seems like the problem is with the new MAF. Not sure why it initially didn't work, then worked and then crapped out again.

2. At this point I am willing to drive around with the MAF unhooked, not sure why it drives so well with it unhooked and what damage I might be doing.

3. I get 48 hours to fix or the wife says the car has to go.
