This seems to be a more and more common occurance with my car now. Every time I disconnect the MAF and the battery my car goes to hell in a hand basket.
I don't know if this is tied into the fact that plugs 1 and 4 were covered in oil when I changed them the other day.
It seems when I reconnect everything the ECU loses the signal entirely or gets an erratic reading. It finally started to recognize airflow at idle, but as soon as I blipped the throttle, it would fall on its' face and damn near stall. The car and I played games for a good hour and a half until it decided to fix itself and work fine.
At one point I did get a MAF error, but other than that it just ran like crap until it sorted its' shit out.
Another thing, I upped the WOT settings on the MAFT and the idle got better... but that was only after it decided to recognize airflow.
