My sohc 240 hasnt been undrivable for over a month now, and ive been trying to figure out wats wrong, but i cant figure it out.

With the MAF plugged in, my car starts just fine. The car doesnt idle since the revs drop down soon after the car starts. If i press down the throttle too fast, the car instantly dies. If i ease the throttle, i can keep the revs up high enough that the car doesnt die. However, once i hit 2000rpm, the car instantly dies.

With the MAF unplugged, the car idles just fine. I can rev the engine fine as well. However, it bogs alittle after 2000rpm. Ive also succeeded in driving short distances

Ive replaced the coolant temp sensor, ignition coil, sparkplugs, distributor rotor and cap, injectors, injector connectors.

Im guessing i need to replace the MAF, but after searching, it seems like thats its never really the problem.

Can you guys help me out?
