If you unplug the MAF when the car is running, then of course it will die; the ECU stops seeing airflow, so stops injecting fuel. Starting up the car after unplugging the MAF means the ECU will ignore the MAF and use the other sensors and reference values to guess at the airflow. Like I said, reset the ECU and try again. You can't use this test to rule out the MAF as a problem, only confirm it (if the car runs better without the MAF than with it).
