sputtering, missfiring.
Do this. Open your hood, find the MAF, unplug it and take it for a drive. Your check engine light will be on but will run perfect without it. I guarantee you wont even be able to tell the difference. See if your symptoms go away.
The engine will run off of the MAP sensor without the MAF and will correct any MAF related problems without it plugged in. As soon as you plug your MAF back in the check engine light will go away.1994 Z28 - 13.52@110mph 2.1 60ft T56, bolt-ons, suspension

no it will run much better without it plugged in.
If the MAF sensor is good it wont change at all.1994 Z28 - 13.52@110mph 2.1 60ft T56, bolt-ons, suspension

Oh man im sorry! I completely misread that! I was replying in another thread about a MAF sensor at the same time i was posting here just misread it the whole time haha. I'm not sure how to test it. I dont think you can unplug it and get the engine to run without it. Not sure how to test it either.
