Those cars were known for electrical issues. The old style connectors were poor.
I spent 3 hours chasing fuses, relays, connectors. I found that power is delivered to the headlight.
So finally, lets check the light bulbs.
Well, they were never installed.... and once you put them in - all worked just fine.
I spent 3.5 hours doing a 15 minute job. In late fall, in Poland (kind of like Michigan weather...).
So you can just unplug it and drive? It will not scream at me?

It will most likely through a code for the MAF.
But you can just delete it.
When you unplug the MAF the DME reverts to a default fueling strategy as a work around.
So you can use that fact to check MAF funtion.
Your just looking for any change to the issue your having..so unplug it go for short drive turn on the AC and evalute the results.
Then plug the MAF back in and clear the code if any.
