Are there any negative long term effects of leaving the Mass Airflow Sensor unplugged?

Not that I know of other than the constant CEL glowing at you which could mask a different CEL since it's already on.

funny story about the cel...

I have had mine on since I bought the jeep and did the orm. Today, while parked, I used the "torque" app on my phone to remove the cel. Fully expecting it to come back on, I hopped on the road. 40 miles later...still off. :) Strange things this ecu we have.

The cell will return, it will take 3 or 4 starting cycles.

You don't have to wait 3 or 4 cycles, it will come on the first time. Once you clear it, it will stay off only until the next time it is cycled off/on, no matter how many miles driven.

^^ I agree....

I've had mine unplugged since I bought it, 30k ago. Just periodically check the codes.
