I think that will cause the injectors to not be fired by the ecu.

it won't affect fuel pump ....
since it will start and idle with no air flow meter at all,
or AFM unplugged.

I'm guessing that if it's not at WOT or Idle ..
it depends on AFM contact to keep the injectors firing.

( ecu keeps fuel pump relay energized because it sees the engine turning
from the ignition system. )
