Need help ASAP please! Been trying to diagnose our poor wrex. Hasn't run since Monday. Just about out of options. I'd like to try plugging in a known good maf and see if that solves it before I go through removing our piggyback ecu.
Car is located in Clinton ma. Or if someone has a spare I can try out then possibly buy if it works?
Post, pm, or call/text 508-410-8078. Any help is appreciated, my truck lee its tranny last week and wrex died Monday. Been borrowing a car all week. I'm the type who never forgets a favor!

i may be way off base here, but i think if you have a bad MAF and you leave it unplugged the car may idle good. This could help narrow down if the MAF is bad.

If the car were completely stock yes you are correct. However, the car has a piggyback ecu it that may be affecting that test. Won't run at all with maf plugged in. Unplug it it will at least idle, very poorly but it will. And can't touch the gas at all. Got a thread on it in the appropriate section. I'm just running out of ideas and it would be awesome if I could just try a known good one and see what happens without having to spend over $100 on a maybe guess.

Would my maf work?

I honestly have no idea. I appreciate the offer very much.
Finally got the car to start Tuesday. Forgot to update this thread.
