Will the car still run if u unplug maf after it blows? once the maf blows your car is pretty well undriveable until a new maf is installed?

If you blow the MAF the car will run better with it unplugged or at least mine did. You can't go above 2300 rpm's though

My dealer almost denied my warrantee claim when my MAF went out. I unplugged it to get home because the car would not stay running. Since I went to school with the service guy he said he would do me a favor and honor the warrantee. Bunch of idiots at Nissan.
