I am having this issue it is a 2000 VW golf, and I have a P1128 code , rpms rise and engine jerks but only twice then normal until I come to another stop , also twice the car wouldn't turn on unless I would rev the engine at start up but there was about a 2 month gap between both of those times , and everyone says the code is saying MAF but I have changed that twice it just seems like an endless amount of possibilities any help would be very appreciated

Did you put a new or used MAF in the car? What brand? Do you have a scanner that will read live data?

not sure on the brand but it was off amazon, was one I used previously before and my reader isn't anything special its a 20 dollar reader from walmart, reads engine codes and maybe couple trim code s
