what tool is required to remove 2 screws holding maf , seems like torx ,but center tab ??

bought tools, still not problem , towing it to shop as we speak , [ junk]

I had a crapped out MAF on my 99 OBS. (It crapping out was my fault for rigging my own intake system.)

 

Anyway, the car died on me and would not start. Had me stranded on the interstate. I rattled my brain through some random possibilities for why the car wouldn't run and ended up guessing the MAF. I unplugged it and was then able to drive the 2 hrs home. Car idled like crap and would die if you didn't keep the gas pedal pressed down, but it ran. Would not run with the bad MAF plugged in but would run and drive (with issues) with the MAF unplugged. Just curious if you tried yours with it unplugged, as it is possible to get a bad used MAF.
