If the computer says MAF, then I'd guess it's a problem with the MAF.

if your maf is screwed i really wouldn't be booting it everywhere if i were you. You risk serious failure if it is faulty and you carry on. One other thing, without sounding like a **** any chance of a bit of punctuation in your posts, the are hard to read !

Check both! I've had both at some point in the past. Boost hose issue may not affect the engine light though.....it didn't on mine.

It's gonna be a fooked MAF. Try cleaning yours up and see how you go. If not then its time for a new one.

Ditto!
If it's not happy then don't push it....you don't want the consequences!
Struggled without the punctuation and 'text language' also.

Best of luck sorting it!

Don't worry about the grammar chap.

If I was you I would change the MAF first. And until you have done this DO NOT go thrashing around.
Has it got a fancy aftermarket air filter by any chance ?

My old classic had similar issues ...by cleaning out my old boost solenoid with clutch/brake cleaner (whilst in diagnostic mode) fixed my classic :-)
