Will spraying starting fluid on MAF destroy it?

Well my dumbass for got to connect my racetronix fuel pump conector. When I went to start the motor for the first time, I quickly figured out that it wasnt getting fuel after a quick shot of starting fluid, and lack of pump noise,lol!! So is it smoked?Because the car is having some issues idling rolling to a stop in nuetral. Other symptoms as well. thanks any info is appreciated~!!!!~~~~rob

Ouch, that has to hurt
Check your MAF readings at idle and see if they are normal.
If this is a LT1 sometimes the HP pump will bump the fuel pressure a bit. Reset the computer and give it a chance to re-learn the BLMs. Hopefully your MAF is OK?

It could also be that your computer has not yet learned a solid setting for idle if you had the computer disconnected. If that is the case the more you let it idle, the better it will become.
