    Car wouldn't go over 10mph, acting like it had no fuel, and dash said I was at 3500 RPM in first gear at 10mph, yeah right. Unplugged MAF and car drives normal with P0101 and P102 codes (MAF low value/input)

    Probably my fault actually. I angled my MAF connected down to look cleaner when I did my intake so it was seriously baking hot from the header crossover when I went to unplug it.

    Without the MAF pluged in, I assume the PCM is only using data from the stored tables instead of real time info, how BAD is that really for now until I can replace it?

    Plug it back in when it cools down and see what it does. I imagine a superheated maf sensor won't be able to provide accurate data to the pcm.

    That was my first thought, but the car started funny and I couldn't even back out of the driveway on a cold engine after it sat for almost 20 hours. So I think I cooked it good, not just a one time deal. I'll plug it in tomorrow and try again though.

    Yeah in that case, it's done. Didn't realize you tried after 20 hours.

    Fortunately there are a large number of OEM MAFs on eBay for $9 shipped, so I ordered 2 just in case.

    Oh yeah, update.

    Turns out it was my MAF connector, not the MAF itself.
