If you unplug the MAF sensor the check engine light will come on and you'll need a reset tool to put it out, best to scan the car for faults

Agree, you need a proper diagnostic with Peugeot Planet 2000 first, to get some pointers, as it could be air, fuel or emissions related. Given the age, it may well need the manifold air intake / EGR cleaning.

Sometimes a car will run a bit better with a duff MAF unplugged but it will put on the CEL quickly as well and that needs a diagnostic to clear it. I'm pretty sure that disabling the EGR is illegal in the UK and on this site admins will quickly delete/block mention of anything illegal. Did the hesitation come back or was it a one off?

Yes it is and our advice is always to clean or replace things like the EGR.

unpluged the electric socket on the maf and give a good spraying with electrical spray and took the car for a quick spin seems a little better but not 100 percent

MAF cleaner would be better and don’t touch the wire.
