Thank you everyone for your advice. I drove the car to work today, 35 miles one way and, it ran normal.....quick (can't beat the turbo model). I did not do any jack rabbit starts, never have, just smooth acceleration. Fuel milage seemed about the same, did not notice a difference from before. No abnormal smells either. Hopefully, it will stay this way until I receive the new MAF, next week. I am going to clean the MAF with CRC MAF Cleaner, this weekend. It would be nice, if it got the original one working for now. Probably will still drive truck for now but, it's been a couple months since I drove my car and I look forward to driving it regularly again. It saves me a bunch in fuel costs versus the truck.

In my experience MAF cleaning is futile unless you can see gunk on it (e.g. oil from an aftermarket intake). But it's so cheap (relatively) that I always suggest it ... let us know if it works!
