Not sure without some code #s and more diag, but sticking power and/or burnoff relays can cause that kind of problem.
look at the filament in the MAF -its probably broken. In which case youll need another one unless you are going SD. This happened to once. The car goes into limp home mode when the light comes on and the car seems to run "better" but not near as good as normal.
