Default Cutting out at junctions etc!/ suspect overfueling

hi guys

since last night my car has started overfueling when the engine is running on/ changing down gears etc i am getting alot of pops/bangs from exhaust. im used to the odd bang here nd there due to decat pipe but its gettin to excessive now! the car also keeps cutting out when pulling up at junctions etc and seems to be idling low around 350rpm. ive searched and found lots of problems like what ive got and its caused by a failed maf sensor... my car is a classic 97 sti import. any help guys?

regards anth
