What are you refering to with "coil bar"? With the car running, unplug the MAF. If the idle improves then the MAF is bad. You can clean the sensor in the MAF with contact cleaner. Also check for vacuum leaks in all of your hoses and intake boot.

Well of course if you disconnect a coil pack the car is going to run rough. I said to disconnect the MAF, not the coil packs. Get the OBD system scanned for trouble codes and see what pops up. That will help diagnose the problem.
