Knackered MAF and Lambda symptoms
Would these be typical symptoms of a knackered air flow meter and/or lambda sensor?
Low MPG
Rough idling/revs hunting
Sometimes stalls when idling
Running rich, especially when cold
Very smelly after a run(not always)

hot wire MAFs get dirty inside, especially if you have an aftermarket filter. So,as above, try it unplugged. If it runs better clean the inside with carb cleaner and the electrical connection and try again.

Ive not tried it with the maf disconnected yet, but have noticed that when the car is running from cold it idles smoothly as it should, but when warmed up after a run it idles rough and hunts alot or stalls
