your plugs are fouled because when the MAF trips a CEL the fuel goes into batch fire mode and you get way more fuel than you need... all in the name of saving your engine!
Alright, I won't open the new one, but I already opened the old one before, and I know it's not working, so I might as well mess with that... but anyway, I din't check if my spark plugs were fouled, I just thought that maybe driving with the bad MAF coused them to foul (which you confirmed), and that them being fouled is what is making the car drive jerky now, as opposed to anything wrong with the new MAF... is that possible? I've had fouled plugs cause mess up the drivability of a car before, but I can't remember if it happens over a certain RPM.
