Runs same unplugged , MAF sensor code is only one can't remember the exact but think it was p107 or p 104
If I take it out clean it it'll work again till you you gotta give it throttle

For the life of me I can't figure it out , I've worked on cars and done complete restos for 30 years or more as I understand the ecu is also in the air box ? Any and all comments welcomed DNT nd ignorant ones ither .
OP was having tested-good MAF sensors turned into tested-bad MAF sensors and bleach-smelling exhaust.

With no volt testers, we can assume none of your MAF sensors have been tested both before and after installation.

Do you have bleach smelling exhaust?

P0104: Irregular high MAF voltage towards PCM
P0107: Irregular low MAF voltage towards PCM

Strikes me as a wiring issue.

While we're here, how many miles on your current spark plugs?

Is your engine supercharged?

It'* wiring. Need to load test the circuits to find the area of high resistance.
These will run OK when unplugged. The PCM uses other inputs to control fuel. It'* not as good but they will run relatively good.
When they don't it'* wiring.

Have we ruled out if we are using non-oem MAF sensors?

Just a note. I had a Monte Carlo that I put 5 after market MAF sensors in. (Tested each time) Finally was able to replace with O/E and haven't had an issue since.

I think they mentioned trying AC Delco and Delphi, AC Delco is what I'd have went with.
I have had non OEM sensors cause issues for sure on my old Park Ave, good point Mike.

Any oiled air filters used?
If so you are careful not to over oil it I hope, that can cause MAF issues also..
