runs like crap

[fatso]

Hi guys
I just picked up an 87 iroc with a 5.7 tpi, the front end was punched but it is still drivable, i just need to replace the airbox.
When I went to look at the car the MAF was unplugged, it ran rich but is ran relativly smooth.
I bought the car and just before driving it home I plugged the MAF back in, it ran like shit so I unplugged it and drove it home. With it plugged in the ses light was out, when I unplugged it the ses light came on.Is that a bad MAF or is something else wrong

lordco is like around 400 but I'd get a part like that from the dealer the GM 1 would be better
