Ok I unplugged the MAF, drove vehicle, turned off, drove again, turned off, went to drive again, and the motor sputters and darn near stalls out hard... no matter how hard you mash the gas to the floor. I have tested this twice and it has happened the same way each time. It thows the cel light as expected but it doesn't run fine... and honestly not suprized by this... MAF sensors are typically used to measure flow to regulate injector pulse... Any advice/comments welcome.
It is my understanding that the MAF supports ONLY the EGR function, nothing else. It sounds like you have another issue, either air in the fuel filter head or loss of boost from a blown CAC hose, pre or post intercooler. Try purging the fuel filter head and checking your hoses for porosity, weeping oil and cracks. Also, it wouldn't hurt to clean the MAP sensor if you haven't done it already. It can lead to its own set of problems, but yours sounds too extreme for a MAP issue.
