Default WTF!!

my engine is acting weird. like it like cuts out for a milli second if i like hit a bump and im coasting. like it wil slightly buck. and sometimes when im coasting really slow and turning it will drop to like 500 rpm and the CEL will come on and it will sound like its chocking or something then it like bumps back up to 1000 and runs normal and the CEL goes off. i was costin in gear tonight at like 35mph and i turned the wheel back and forth a couple of times (swerving) and every time id turn the wheel the other way it would do the same thing... i kno its kinda hard to describe but does anyone have any ideas?

Possibly the baffle in the gas tank has come loose.

i always fill my tank and it was still hapening.

but today i went out and started shakin wires under the hood while it was rinning and i think i found my problem. the clip for the MAF broke so the MAF was only plugged like half in and when i shook it the car died. i pushed it in all the way and i just used some electical tape to hold it in. idk how it broke cuz when i put the PMAS in it wasnt broken and i havent touched it since.. but can i get a new clip somehow? like the part thats attached to the car. the piece that holds the two peices together broke off..
