Hello. Sorry for the bad english. I have problems with the engine running at idle. I cleaned the throttle and the MAF sensor. This partially helped, but then the problem manifested itself again.
When I disconnect the Maf sensor and start the car, it turns off. This is normal? Today, after the problems started, I disconnected the Maf sensor. I tried to start a car. Then i reconnected the Maf sensor. The problem is gone. What does this mean? Thank you very much for your help.

Disconnecting the maf sensor is not a test, so what happens when plugged or unplugged doesn't help to draw conclusions. You will want to monitor scan data for the maf at idle to see if it is reading incorrectly. if not, do not suspect it.
