Esay to check if the MAF is good or bad. Disconnect the wire harness that connects to the MAF and then start the car and see if the car idles better (normally). If so, then the MAF is bad and needs to be replaced. If not, then its something else.

And don't worry, you won't harm the engine by running the car for a short time without the MAF.
