do you still have EGR?...cos if yes there's the problem as the MAF which gave you the air flow fault manages the EGR and the MAP/IAT(inlet air temp) in the inlet manifold got high temp reading which means excess of exhaust gasses.
if you have the EGR bypassed but haven't read codes untill now clear them, drive the car a day or so then read again cos the codes might be hystorical and not be present anymore.
though for that active code there might be a problem with the IAT side of MAP/IAT itself then you'll need a new sensor

thanks for that, I removed the egr ages ago ,my problem is intermittent usually when cold I have no power for pulling away you have to floor the accelerator and wait for the revs to build ,once it gets to a certain point it takes of then change gear no power wait.when it does this its like the fuel is restricted because normally she smokes if you boot it but not a bit when playing up.long way round of asking if the iat is playing up would it put you in limp home

read live data with hawkeye, readind should be as follows:
the MAF reading might be affected by old crankcase breather(depression controll) valve so if you know it's old better replace it

you can't get such plug as a spare only if you go to a scrapyard, it's part of the engine harness... as you already have plug issues at MAP i presume there will be issues with other plugs too or wiring so if you can afford replace the whole engine harness, on an old car is a good move anyway, i didnt have big issues with it, everything worked just that i didnt like the ideea that it's 12 years old and full of oil from the injector harness and bit the bullet for a new one... i can tell that the engine started and ran much better after that
