maf sensor went bad.... wtf well, i was on my way to the track and i went to start my car and it wouldnt start and acted like it was flooded or something, the i tried about 3 more times and the same thing, well, i pulled the lid and the maf off and the maf sonsor, one of the three sonsors was messed up and wasnt connected...
could that have made the car that bad to wear it couldnt even start??
good thing my g/f car was at my house and i just grabed her maf and maf ends and threw them on my car... lol... shhhh

I went thru two MAFs on my car. The 1st one would cause the car to ping at WOT. The 2nd one caused a hard start then it would run. I thought I read somewhere that the car would go into a speed density mode with a bad MAF. The car will run "ok" but be down on power. Im a Ford parts guy/tech and Ive seen bad MAFs cause a car not to even start. Hope this helps.
