    It won`t prove anything! [:s] That would be like saying `would pulling the plug off the headlight, and having the light go out prove the bulb was OK`!

    The engine would cut out (or idle very roughly) when you unplug the MAF, whether it was faulty or not.

    Scope its output at various operating conditions, and compare to a known working unit or the specifications?
