Absolutely agree on the unplug the MAF and see if that improves things idea. The car's DME uses the MAF's values to gauge engine load, and thus lookup appropriate values for fuel and ignition tables. It goes without saying that any air leak after the MAF will cause the mixture to run lean due to the added air that was not metered, and thus the lack of fuel to maintain the proper mixture.

I would agree that you either have a bad MAF or an air leak.
