You can run it just fine without a MAF but the car will run rich. The computer reads the fact that the MAF is not there and assumes a certain amount of air flow and runs a preset Safe mode to prevent the car from running lean and detonating.

check your tps voltage. hopefully jrichker will see this and throw out some numbers for the voltage. i believe it should be under 1 volt at WOT. dump some codes and we can help you out if you dont have a book
