Nope. P0102 is the MAF sensor is not generating the proper frequency to the PCM module. The only work around is leaving it disconnected until you get a replacement. The idle may improve once the engine warms up. But you can run without the MAF connected with no other side effects other than poor fuel economy, etc.

Re: 2000 Grand Prix MAF Problems

Just thought I'd let you know I had the same problem with my GP and I found a MAF at a salvage yard for $35.00. Works fine, may not last, who knows, but I did not have money for a new one at the time. It was hard to find though, 5th place I called had one. Good Luck!
