You need to control the airflow into the engine, that is what the Mass Air Flow sensor does, you can buy ecu's that do things slightly different but they are quite pricey (1.6-2k)
The outcome of having a naffed maf sensor and doing nothing for the (less than) 100 quid they cost inc vat is a 2.5-3k engine rebuild, so really its up to you
its far cheaper just to buy a new maf sensor and fit it.

why do people think this is the way to confirm maf fail!! a failing maf can still give voltage or be stuck on one value so car would cut out if maf disconnected but maf still faulty!! as the car in question is a my00 it has an odb port and can
have the maf voltages read via data monitor to confirm weather maf needs replacing or not!!
have the maf voltages read via data monitor to confirm weather maf needs replacing or not!!
It is almost certainly the MAF, given the fact that it's a 2000 and it's been disturbed lately. I'd personally budget for a Maf as an annual replaceable for MY2000 cars as they are that crap and engine rebuilds that much more expensive, so he could always buy one and plug it in.My money would be on it suddenly running fine again.

and you'll be all on your own... Pop in if you wish and we'll confirm that all is OK after the re-maf. remains in the background until deleted properly by the select monitor. No matter how many times you do a battery style reset.
No obligation, no cost, unless you ask us to do something else.
