Another MAF question

I think that I might have a MAF problem, sputtering on heavy acceleration and missing on light acceleration, at around 3200 rpm. I have removed the MAF and cleaned it with CRC Mass Air Flow sensor cleaner, but no change. I have read several posts about disconnecting the MAF to see if it runs better without the sensor hooked up. What exactly does the MAF do and why would the car run better without it.

Thanks,

Joel

MAF measure the intake air mass and is a parameter for the engine management ( DME ), with the MAF disconnected is the engine management in limp mode, in some cases is the limp mode program better than a bad MAF and the engine will run better.
