    MAF unpluged ?

    You'll probably find the MAF is faulty but it should have put the MIL light on too? Some people unplug them when faulty as it sets the engine ecu to a default reading to keep engine running.

    The viscous fan can fail either way , seized will run all time and chew up newspaper and you will hear it "wooshing" all the time and no overheating as the engine will run cooler.
