If you unplug the mass air flow sensor the car will start. If you try to plug it in while it's running the car will die.
How long can I drive with MAF unplugged?
If you disconnect the MAF and drive the car, you will know within 2 miles if the EML light will come on and the car will default to a Fail Safe or Backup throttle control, if no problems drive the car. If the EML light comes on and the throttle is limited, shut the engine off, plug the MAF back in and drive the car.
Why does my car die when I unplug the mass airflow sensor?
Is it normal for the car to die when disconnecting the mass airflow sensor? Yes. The ECU can't read the air flow and give the engine enough air to combust the fuel and run properly. Every car will do that.
