Have you checked all the pipe work for leaks?

Just done a ECU reset and a look for error codes.I got the continuous on/off at the same speed which indicates no fault found.I then unplugged the maf and the engine carried on at the same speed except for a split second hesitation as I unplugged it.I believe that unplugging the MAF should make the engine stall.Is this correct?
