Yes, that's your problem. The MAF tells the computer how much air is entering the intake. with a few other inputs(o2 sensor, TPS, coolant temp,air temp.) the computer adjusts the fuel mixture. With the faulty signal it's giving the computer it is puting in to much fuel for the amount of air that is really comming in. Replace the sensor(it can't be fixed) when you goto start it up if it doesn't fire right off in a couple of tries it's probably flooded. Hold the gas pedal to the floor. this does two things. It lets in more air, whitch you need if it's flooded, and with the low engine RPM the computer shuts down the injectors. It's called clear flood mode. Once it starts it goes into normal operation. Hope this helps. Please accept my answer if your satisfied. Thanks 32dmadden
