Default Help, car stumbles and I can smell raw fuel!

Car threw a P0100, and runs real rich! It just randomly started doing this while driving. The car kinda jerks when driving, and is having a HARD time accelerating. When I put it in neutral to slow down, the car idles itself up to around 1800 and stays there, then at a complete stop, it idles down to like 400 and tries to die, and I can smell raw fuel. I put anoter MAF in it that I know is good, and cleared the code. Started it, and the light popped back on and did the same thing. Im stumped. I am afraid to drive it with it doing this. I replaced the pigtail about a year ago, and havent had any problems until the other day. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

DTC P0101 Mass Air Flow (MAF) Sensor Performance


i would double check your connection,possibly disconnect the MAF the pcm will go to MAP instead should run better if this is the problem.

not saying it will run perfectly,it will run better than having a MAF problem our cars have both MAF and MAP,you will have a SES light unless it is tuned out of the PCM.
check the pink wire going to the MAF it may be broken or something.
