Hi,
I recently had my MAF go bad.The car ran real bad on startup in the morning. It accelerated horribly and was just slow.I got the codes read at autozone and it said oxygen sensors,well it was the MAF and not the oxygen sensors to make a long story short. To figure out if that is your problem,just disconnect the wire for the MAF and it will put the computer into default mode,your car will run great if that's the problem.By the way,don't buy the bosch universal oxygen sensors if you ever need to replace any of them,they don't work
