Unplugged Mass Air - Should car die?
Mechanic working on my car said that while the car was running at full operating temp he unplugged the mass air. Car did not die. He said it made no change. He seems to think that this should have cause some kind of idle problem and the car should have died.
Thoughts?

From what i learned it should not die it should fall back on pre programmed tables within the computer but they are very generic. Im sure others like adder or samseed could give a lot more detail. It is a good way to find out if u got a bad mass air, if it runs a lot better when u unplug it then its bad. If it does not change it would sya to me its fine.

So if the car is idling poor (constant searching for idle) and I unplug the mass air and the car idles fine. What would be the reason?
