That's hilarious.


If there is a poor connection in the connector, unplugging and then plugging the MAF connector back in could temporarily fix it. Also, directly inside the housing of the MAF, the three pins on the connector solder to three wires. If there was a connection problem here, the small force applied to unplug or plug in the connector could aggravate or remedy a connection problem, temporarily.

So yes it's possible for the car to run better after plugging the MAF back in if the original problem was a loose or dirty connection. As long as the car is running fine, I wouldn't mess with it again. However, CRC makes some electrical contact cleaner that you could try to spray on the contacts on the MAF connector and the pigtail that plugs into the MAF. You don't need to go crazy with it, just a quick shot. Also, you can wiggle the connector or tap softly on the MAF with the handle of a screwdriver to try and see if there is an internal connection problem should it ever act up again.

I'm no expert but you probably shouldn't go unplugging things while your car is running, its not likely to solve your problems.
