...sorry to say but I think your only option is to fix it. The car will operate without the MAF but will run in " limp home mode" . Fuel economy and performance will suffer as the computer will run on defaults in the ECM and stop using sensors for information.

Your car doesn't have the MAF, it has the MAP.
