if its reaalllllly ******** then it will run better with it unplugged.
if it runs exactly the same then i guess that says the maf isnt too good, it should run alot better plugged in than not.

+3 but if youv done a few miles with it unplugged then id say take the battery off for a few min to reset all the fuelling adaptions.
I've had mine detached for about 50 odd miles as it runs slightly better with it detached, would this have caused any damage? Am I looking at a new Maf or is it worth giving the one I have a clean? I've got some electrical cleaner from Halfrauds in the garage somewhere would that be ok?

The car I have seems to run rough on idle but unplug the MAF and seems better so assume it needs cleaning?

Possibly a vacuum leak?

Previous posts about the MAF have shown that rarely does a clean resolve the issue, best option is to get a replacement one.
Someone else mentioned above that they have driven for 50miles with the MAF unplugged, is that advisable and will it cause any issues?
