When the MAF sensor went bad in my wife's Regal LS (Series II 3800) it would not idle and the engine would severely misfire around 3000 - 4000 rpms. I had to keep the idle around 1200 rpms manually or the engine would stall.
Good point on default. The only way to force the PCM to go to default for pre-calculated MAF values is to totally disconnect the MAF sensor. The car should run properly with only reduced fuel economy. We ran her Regal for two weeks with the MAF disconnected. I had a nightmare with Autozone A1 Cardone MAF sensors. The two I got from them were defective. I eventually had to go to a boneyard and pull one off the same year and model Regal. Good deal at $40.00. And the part numbers matched so I knew I got the right one.
On my GTP I had a bad MAF one time. It gave a SES light and DTC error code of P0101 performance error code. That was due to the CAI with K&N oiled filter. I cleaned it up and it worked fine for a few weeks and then I had to replace it.
Checkout this link Max. One of my best to date. This guy with a L67 Regal GS was dead in the water at a shopping mall on the weekend.
