Yes, a faulty mass air flow (MAF) sensor can cause an engine to stall at idle. The MAF sensor measures the amount of air entering the engine, and if it's providing inaccurate readings, the engine control unit may not deliver the correct fuel-air mixture. This can lead to a rough idle or stalling, especially when the engine is under low load conditions. Replacing or cleaning the MAF sensor often resolves the issue.

loping idle. does not maintain idle, sometimes shuts engine off. do an ohm test.
How is the idle adjusted on a Chevy 5.7 liter fuel injected engine?
There is no adjustment for the idle. It is controlled by the computer. If it is not idling properly, you probably have a bad Idle Air Control ("IAC Motor") or a bad Throttle position Sensor ("TPS Sensor") If it is turning the check engine light on, you should check to see what code it is setting in the computer.

start the car and let it idle while the car is running unplug the mass airflow sensor if the idle does not change then the sensor is probably bad if the idle does change or the engine dies out then it is working so leave it alone cause they arent cheap. A Chrysler Cirrus does not use a maf.

Can a bad knock sensor cause a rough idle?
Yes, a bad knock sensor can cause a rough idle. The knock sensor detects vibrations caused by engine knocking and sends signals to the engine control unit (ECU) to adjust timing and fuel delivery. If the sensor malfunctions, it may lead to improper timing adjustments, resulting in an uneven idle and performance issues. However, other factors can also contribute to rough idling, so it's important to diagnose the issue thoroughly.
