Unless the voltage is unusually high on your car, I don't see how it could harm the sensor. Not really sure what diagnosing you'll need to do, but have either you or he pulled codes, to ensure it's the MAF, not something else causing the idle problems? Our cars are 12 or 13 years old, so it's not totally uncommon for other issues to arise, right around the same time as others, and they may exacerbate the other problems. As far as there being no screen, I don't recall my factory MAF having one either, but it's been gone for a long while now.

Could it be you have a cai with a clean and oil filter

If so, have you cleaned it lately and possible over oiled the filter
clogging up both your and your cousins meter hot wires in
the electronics

Buy some o2 sensor cleaner from your local Pep-Boys and hose down the sensor nice and clean.

Click to expand...

If he is running a CAI make sure that the MAF electronic is at 12 .....I was told by a tuner that this is called clocking.....I had a idle issue but still power while driving was fine.....it fixed it.......
