MAF Question

I have been struggling to get my TPS and MAF running correctly together after installation of my coolant temp sensor. The TPS is also a newer part. Anyways, my question is, when I finally get my TPS adjusted so that it doesn't throw any codes, my car lacks major power and doesn't hold an idle when coming to a stop. I look at my MAF sensor and it appears that one of the wires came loose or undone or something. If the MAF is damage or malfunctioning, will it ALWAYS throw a code? Cause when plugged in, it doesn't. Also, would it cause lack of acceleration? When I unplug it the car idles a little erratic but drives a lot faster and actually holds an idle.

On a side note, rule out any IAC or vacuum suggestions, that is all new and correct. Thanks in advance.
