VR6 stalls when plug in MAF

Recommended Posts

On my new motor the car runs OK when start up, and now finding out it occasionally stalls at when coming to a stop once the engine temp has reached 90 degrees, the revs just drop off even though clutch is depressed and so stalls. So was look at it during lunch and realised then when at temperature car will stall unless MAF sensor is unplugged, if unplugged works fine but at the 90 degrees temperature if you plug the MAF back in and the car stalls instantly, you can instantly start back up through ignition key but it runs a bit lumpy and then may stall again once you come to a stop again unless MAF is disconnected.

 

Does this suggest the MAF or is it just coincidence as obviously it is monitering air and so unplugged hides other problems. Cant check for codes yet as don't have a reader, but I have ordered one but won't come till next week so was just going to try some trial and error ideas this weekend. Any Ideas??
