i have got an Alhanbra 1.9tdi S reg. i have acceleration probs for a while now . but i have found if a disconect the plug to the sensor on the air filter acceleration is improved a lot. what is the sensor for ?. will it do any harm if left disconected .if yes do i need to buy a new sensor and are they expensive???? . any help would be great as i dont have a clue about it.
Sounds like the MAF to me, about £80 to exchange it at your local stealer

if the maf is fault and i dont have it connected what is the worst thing that could happen

Not a lot, the engine management ecu reverts to pre set parameters, you regain some of your performance but still run under power, I ran with it disconnected for two weeks before I had it replaced
