Peugeot 406 hdi - MAF sensor faulty - vw_r3219

Hey guys im new to this site. I have a 406 HDI 2000 model (90hp) which has lost all power up until a week ago the car was going find and then all of a sudden one day its just lost everything its so flat you could almost walk faster. i have checked all the obvious things replaced fuel filters etc. I did have the ecu codes read and it was showing MAF sensor short so we cleared the code but still no power. There is no checklight on the dash. i decided to clean the maf sensor but again still no change. I then removed the plug from the maf sensor and decided to take it up the road and bingo all the power came back. Now im not sure if this means there is a fault with the maf sensor no checklight came up on the dash even with the plug disconected which i thought was weird. The car has done 154 miles never burns a drop of oil but i have noticed fuel economy lately hasnt been as good as it use to be. Can anyone out there help me out on this or has anyone had a similar problem? I did read there is a MAF sensor earth modification that should be done aswell can anyone help me out

thanks

The most likely problem will be the sensor, that could also account for your poor fuel economy. Try a secondhand one from a scrap yard.
