MAF disconnected conclusion
I heard a lot of users are talking about better performance when MAF is disconnected (including myself)
After a lot of thinking I realized that disconnecting the MAF puts the ECU in safe mode which means that the ECU is dumping fuel and air into the engine independant of all signals coming from the different sensors all over the car - WHICH MEANS that if we disconnect the MAF and we have better performance it DOES NOT lead to the fact that the problem is in the MAF - The problem could be anywhere in any sensor or any signal going to the ECU
So, do not seek a solution for the MAF, let's start diagnosing other parts
Hope I make sense
