Default having a problem

ok so when i had my kenne bell on it started acting really weird like it had a miss up top and then one day it started idling very badly like it had a huge cam.i checked the plugs and they were fine,so i took it off and turned it back to stock. well now when i start it it will start but just die. it wasnt smoking, ticking or knocking when it was acting bad so i didnt think it was anything major but now im begining to wonder if it is. whats weird is if i take the air filter off and put my hand over the maf the car will idle but as soon as i remove my hand it will die. anybody have a clue what the hell is wrong?

Throwing some ideas out there, did you go with a larger maf when you were f/i? Is it tuned for a larger maf? is the stock maf there? or is it still aftermarket if you did go aftermarket?

did it have an aftermarket tune other than the chip? you were running a supercharged engine on an otherwise stock tune? could have been ur KB problem.
