When you unplug the MAS, the ECM goes back to open loop mode, so this does not necessarily mean the MAS is bad.

Put a scan tool on the system and find out what sensors are giving erroneous data.

Its also possible that the ECM needs to relearn the engine, as it probably stored operational data for a poorly running engine, but the open/closed loop point seems more interesting.
