MAF sensor question...

I have a check engine light on because of it. Does this hinder performance in anyway or not? I'm trying to figure out if it's worth getting a new one. Thx

If it is MAF your rpm will sputter around 4K and will not run right. Check engine light will put you in limp mode. I would also advise hook up cable and read the codes.
