Would a rear end accident cause the mass airflow sensor to go bad?

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.

What would cause rpm to race then slow while at idle in park on a 1998 Saturn SL 2 coupe?
your airflow is uneven check the airflow sensor wire/ sensor
What would cause the catalytic converters to get cherry red on a 97 f150 with a 4.6 engine?
Mass airflow sensor and or aircharge sensor is bad
What is code 23 on Subaru?
i believe its the maf sensor mass airflow sensor although a loose, broken,dirty or non standard airbox can cause this
Where is the mass air flow sensor sensor for a 2000 dodge stratus Could that cause the fuel too rich in bank 1?
the stratus doesn't have a mass airflow sensor
Will the mass airflow sensor that is not working correct cause car to lack power?
yes it may not run at all
What would cause an 1989 firebird to stall at idle?
It can be one of these 3 things...1 Throttle position sensor..2 Mass airflow senser...3 Map senser
What would cause an 87 Buick Park Ave to stall and not start act like no fuel when warm?
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.
What would cause a 93 Ford Tempo to suddenly start idling very fast then after replacing the mass airflow sensor and throttle position sensor the problem remains the same?
Try cleaning or replacing the idle air control valve (IAC) located on intake manifold next to EGR valve.
What could cause your 1996 Subaru Legacy to suddenly die while idling at stoplights--once every other week or so--its very hard to start immediately after but cranks fine?
I had this same problem with my Subaru Legacy 1995 L . I would first replace the fuel filter (It is something you would need to do every 15,000 miles or 12 months). I did that, it help but didn't solve the problem. My problem was the airflow sensor. My airflow sensor was running bad. I got it replaced, and it solved the problem. It can be very expensive if you try to get a brandnew airflow sensor ($400++). Try to find a used one. It might be a lot cheaper. Less than $100 on eBay if you're lucky. Good luck.
Can a crankshaft sensor cause your car to over heat?
No, a bad crankshaft sensor would cause the car not to start and run.
What is the leading cause of accident injuries?

Where is an airflow sensor locatedfor 96 Saturn sl2?
Actually, Saturn S series vehicles do not make use of a Air Flow sensor..... They do on the other hand have a Ambient Air Temperature sensor located in the lower portion of the air filter box. This can cause poor vehicle performance if it has failed.
