This is from a 99 Tahoe 5.7L. Will it work on my 02?

Mine is broken. It threw codes 0102 0103 and it runs great but at start up I have to keep it rev'd til the motor decides it wants to run. It will die if I don't rev it. Also throwing a 0104? for a broken wire. Yes, I broke the wire f-in with it.

If your car has a stock tune, it should be able to run without it. There's tons of tables in the program that it only goes into in event of MAF failure.

That thread has all the DTC codes listed.

It does run without it properly working. I know what codes I'm throwing but will a bad MAF in SD cause it to die right after I start the car. It idles normal then goes to 500rpms and slowly dies, unless I give it gas. Even when I give it gas and keep it at lets say 3000rpm. I will keep my foot steady at 3000 but the rpms will drop to 2500 then to 3000 then 2200 then to 3000. So even with constant fuel at ANY given rpm, the car still will drop in rpms and act like it wants to die. If i try to drive it when it's doin it, it will fall on its face. Help?
