Default Scooby missing badly

Got my 1st scoobie friday a 2000 turbo, was running great all weekend, then today at low speed it started to miss very badly and hardly no power, it has a ridiculously huge scoop on it and was wondering if water could have got in and caused the problem? any help much appreciated.

The MAF may have died or it's a bigger problem.

A bit of history on the car, spec, mod's etc may help. I just hope you have not bought a chavved up nail for your sake.

They're important in submarines, the international space station and that film with Sandra Bullock.
