The air flow meter measures the amount of air entering the throttle body
and intake manifold.
The fuel injection, it's timing and amount will be off.  I would think
you would run to rich at times and
too lean at times.  I've heard this can burn out your heads, cylinders
etc.  I'd find the cause of
the idle problem asap and leave the afm connected.  Have you checked
the temp gauge, O2 sensor?
Have you checked for vacuum leaks?
You could replace the fuel pressure regulator too.

What can potentially happen if I was to drive with the AFM unplugged?
I'm trying to trouble shoot an idle problem and the engine runs better
with the AFM unplugged than with it hooked up. Also what should this be
telling me? If anything?
Thanks,
