can this work on a 98 300?

Not really sure how to vote, because when my MAF went out on me due to using CRC MAF cleaner(I know should of done my research) my car would buck on me right at WOT. So just simply unplugging it will boost power? I thought that would throw a CEL and put your car's computer in some sort of a default mode. Can some one shed some light on this for me?

In many cases, the sensors on our early model 1UZ'S are not communicating properly with the ecu and we are getting what seems to be very bad ignition issues. Unplugging the maf puts the ecu in a default "safe" setting mode and ignores most sensor inputs. This bypasses the faulty sensor communication that cannot be narrowed down for us and although the resulting fuel/timing map is far from ideal (only 10 degrees of timing advance as I have found), it is much better than before and results in more torque and power. 10 degrees of timing advance is very weak, though.

. I can't believe everything worked and I got perfect signals first try only to have a wideband ruin my fun. Makes me want string curse words together indefinitely.
