If you unplug the mass airflow sensor the transmission will begin to shift again but the engine will then begin to bog.

The car runs but will not shift with a mass airflow sensor plugged in?

Hi,
It sounds like the mass air flow sensor is faulty. Have you replaced it or tried cleaning it? If not, first, try to clean it.
Here is a link that explains how to do it:

If you do clean it, make sure to use a cleaner designed for the sensor. Also, if that doesn't resolve the issue, replace the sensor.
Let me know.

Hi,
Do you have the original one or a new one? Or do you mean you installed the new one and nothing has changed?
Let me know. Also, let me know if you have scanned the can-bus for diagnostic trouble codes.
Take care,
Joe
