I replaced my MAF and the car acted all wierd after about 10 mintues of driving.

I was going to work and the car then statred revving like crazy, like the tranny was slipping big time, then it banged in gear, I mean banged and chripped the wheels going only 35 MPH.

Pulled over and the car was slowy revving up without hitting the gas so I turned the car off. Not smart I know but I didn't want it to hit the rev limiter, if it was still there. The car then would not start back up. I unplged the MAF and it turned over and ran for about 3 seconds then stalled. Still wouldn't start after that. So I unpluged the MAF and it tried to turn over, after the 3rd try it turned over but was going vvroom, vrroom, vrroom, dropping to 450 RPM between each time, then stalled again. Did the same thing, only quickly pluged the MAF back in and it ran good. Shifting into gear, holding the brake, and the car went BANG!!! when I shifted into drive, did it again when I shifted into reverse. Turned the car off and looked to make sure the tranny was still in the car and it was. restarted the car, turned over fine, hasn't given me a problem since. My mech said it had to relearn the new MAF because the old one was so effed up.
