It is definitely possible that being rear ended can cause the mass airflow sensor to go bad. If the exhaust system has been damaged, it will effect the airflow. Also the impact itself may have jarred the sensor loose.

Could be cam sensor, crank sensor, throttle position sensor, mass airflow sensor or the magnet on the crank. We just replaced all of the above and found out the hard way it was the last...and cheapest. Pull the cam sensor, look at the end of your cam and see if the magnet is damaged.


Will a bad mass airflow sensor cause a 1998 Buick LeSabre Custom to run rough and stalling out?

Yes, a bad mass airflow sensor (MAF) can cause a 1998 Buick LeSabre Custom to run rough and potentially stall out. The MAF sensor measures the amount of air entering the engine, and if it's malfunctioning, it can lead to incorrect air-fuel mixture. This imbalance can result in poor engine performance, rough idling, and stalling. If you suspect the MAF sensor is faulty, it's advisable to have it tested or replaced.
