Mass Air Flow Sensor, May have shorts/loose connections ect to Its wire harness or wires to the computer or to the controlled systems it controls. MAF sensor is used in conjunction with an oxygen sensor, the engine's air/fuel ratio can be controlled very accurately. The MAF sensor provides the open-loop controller predicted air flow information (the measured air flow) to the ECU, and the oxygen sensor provides closed-loop feedback in order to make minor corrections to the predicted air mass. May be a short or ground problem or computer problem. Check all your wire harness you can for loose or broken.
