MAF problems?

D**N IT! As I wrote in a previous post, I believe that I screwed up my MAF sensor when I was installing a new air filter. The car would jerk all over when I was driving at anything above a crawl. I just got a used MAF sensor that was supposedly in perfect working condition, and installed it right away.

The car runs a lot better, but it's only drivable if I stay below a certin RPM (no tach, so I don't know what rpm, but it's just at the level where I normally shift up). And then it starts jerking again. Did I get ripped off, or could it be something else? Could there be some lingering damage done to the car from driving it around the block with the bad MAF, or could it be something else, like an air leak? The clip that holds the plastic air intake tube to the maf sensor rusted and fell off yesterday, so maybe it's not airtight, and at higher RPMS, it leaks? I don't have anything on me to test that right now, but what do you all think?

Thanks,
Kris
