Our '96 Infiniti ran with the MAF disconnected, so probably. Computer no longer has air flow info so it uses a default map to determine fuel injection amount based on RPM and maybe other data. Mass Air Flow? -- Max Dillon Charleston SC '87 300TD '95 E300

About 2005, when scrap prices were really high, there were a number of folks here who would slide under cars in parking lots [ie WalMart] and use battery sawzalls to cut cats out of as many cars as they could, then run them to the scrap buyers to support their drug habit. This happened so much
