1993 Mercury Marquis

My car wasn't staying idle unless I gave it gas, and when I did give it gas it sounded horrible. I unplugged the mass air flow sensor and it would run (not great, it would take a little time to pick up speed). I bought a new mass air flow sensor and installed it. Now it will only idle, and if I give it gas it sounds horrible and then dies. What could be causing this problem?

I would check the idle air control. valve, and clean the throttle body.
