    Bad MAF?

    Car starts then shuts off, will not idle. Will stay running if im on the gas. It has been idling kinda rough lately kinda like I have a cam. I unplugged the MAF and it will idle. Plug it back in and then it dies.

    Sound like a bad MAF?

          you may want to check your coolant temp sensor as well. A bad one will show the same symptoms then work. Just a suggestion if it comes back to haunt you.

                no, one measures air mass, the other measures volume. completely different. :)
