I will recommend cleaning the sensor. there is a product disigned to clean it. it's a spray, obviously enough called maf sensor cleaner. your sensor might be dirty, degrading operation, especially if your using an aftermarket air filter like k&n which uses oil to filter the air.

I'm getting error code P0102 which points to the MAF sensor. The car has no power one second and it works fine the next. It almost sounds like fuel is not getting through. Could it be the fuel filter?...

have a repair shop check out the MAF sensor signal. If they determine that its bad, get them to replace it. If that doesn't fix it, then its their problem, not yours. If you buy one and install it, and it doesn't fix it, your not getting your money back.

97 bmw 318ti mass airflow sensor diagnose code P1140 comes when starting the car i replaced maf problem still exists checked hoses all okay,

The p1140/121 code indicates the MAF was not as expected compared with values from IAT, TPS, CTS, IAC command, and RPM. Meaning all THOSE sensors and the IAC solenoid position data have to be working and in normal range for the MAF to test normal and not code. Further, any vacuum leaks will ruin the MAFs accuracy when compared to the others, as will a PCV/CCV problem.
If you lobbed a MAF at it already...you have already done the least likely and most expensive part. You really need to look at data and see what the DME sees. Is throttle showing closed at idle, is air temp normal? Is RPM under 725 idling, does it flare idle up and down in 10 seconds. is there any vacuum leakage anywhere? even a small amount can make a code level of difference?. Intakes leak a fair amount. CCV valves much more likely to leak, as are the hoses to it. TPSs dont fail that often but can. IACs usually code when they fail...but they could plug up and not code but have improper air bypass that affects the MAF reading. Throttle cables/adjustment is critical...keep that high on priority list.

97 cabrio 2.0 aba engine with 5speed. Starts

the sensor that controls the mixture is the heated oxygen sensor in the exhaust manifold before the cat converter
if that is the one you disconnected and it made no difference then logically if it was working ok then there would have been a difference
replace it and see if there is a difference

Hey i have a 1996 2.0litre turbo sti impreza, It starts fine and idles perfect but if i floor it in any gear it splutters!! Ive changed the spark plugs and it did not help!!! Can anyone help me???

Check the flexible air inlet tube.

Make sure it's 100% seal between the air filter to the intake manifold on the engine block.

Air rushing into the intake (after Mass Air Flow sensor MAF) will lean out the fuel mixture.

===

Clean and inspect for other air leaks on vacuum hoses and intake manifold gaskets.

Defective MAP sensor can also cause similar problem.
