The MAF codes are expected if its been unplugged, as they will be stored.

No other codes in there?

The AA bloke wasn't heavy handed with plug, any damage?

Update--Mate came around earlier to help with mounts for v8 in my 94 mig and he cut MAF plug and soldered it to my estate-fitted MAF-jobs done. So now back to sorting out what wiring to cut out of 94 mig as no sensors to worry about. :y
