A good shop would have a Pico scope or something similar and a Tech. who was well versed in reading the wave forms.
They could test the MAF (and any other sensor) without removing it from the car and know what condition it was in.

If you have the time or inclination look up ScannerDanner on U-tube he is very good with them.
Aside from the Pico or Snapon scanners he uses his diagnostic methodology is top notch.
Lots can be learned from him and his methods.

Anyway my feelings are going to be hurt if we are wrong about the MAF. LOL
