Default built 306 idle problems

with all sensors connected the idle will surge from 700 to 1500...as i adjust the idle screw i can stop the surging...but not until it reaches 1500 rpm...when i unplug the maf the car will idle the way it should after i adjust the idle screw...does this mean my maf is bad?

run KOEO/KOER test, do a through cleaning of IAC, TB, MAF, adjust TPS and then reset your base idle
