Educate me please

Talking to the guy at buyautoparts, he told me the car should not be running fine with the MAF unplug and it tell him its not the MAF that is in trouble.

I though that when you disconnect the MAF, the ECU cannot read air flow, so it goes to a preset fuel and ignition map and guide itself with the others sensor to be sure the engine is safe. So the engine run not at full capacity, but will run good, which is what happen this morning.

And when I connect the MAF, the engine use it, but since it seams to be broken, the ECU receive strange signal and that is why it cut power and run bad?

I'm I wrong to think that way.

later
Chris
