Not on a VR6, the MAF doesn't make any detectable difference to the way the engine behaves, it only affects economy/emissions.

jtox, I hate to point this out, but you have posted TWICE in VR6 threads.

 

Yours is a totally unrelated Ford 2.3 litre four cylinder engine which usually has problems with fuel pump relays etc.

 

These threads are specific to the Volkswagen 2.8 litre six cylinder engine, and its problems are NOT common to yours!

 

Start a new thread and post the exact nature of your problem, you'll then be deluged with help from experienced 2.3 owners.
