would have thought its more to do with coil packs then the MAF mate  :undecided:

coilpacks control the fuel injection; MAF is for the air / fuel mixture

not 100% mate - you're going to need it scanned for fault codes - that should confirm whats wrong

un plug the socket from the back of the maf and then go for a drive and if you notice no difference then its not your maf . but if you notice a huge differnce ( loss of power ) then you can safely say its knakered .

ps . unplugging it will do no harm . your car will just use an automatic setting
