started car for a split second with TPS/MAF/and AIC unhooked

so I started my car with these out for a split second, and shut it off. now the check engine light is on. It was on before for TPS sensor and high idol, hense why the TPS was unhooked (but still attached to the TB), but I erased the codes at autozone. Could this have hurt anything?

Don't think you hurt anything. You saying all codes were cleared, then SES came back on again after reconnecting everything?

no, doing that the car just threw a code...for those sensors....our cars are designed to run without the maf IF THEY HAVE TO....unlike other cars ie fords...you pull a maf on a ford the vehicle WONT run....ours have such a easy stock tune that if the maf fails it falls into open loop/safe mode and runs that way....im not sayin it will run good...but it will get u to where you have to go
