Got the fault code, but what does it mean?!

Hi all,

Was driving to work this morning and suddenly the car cut out for no particular reason with the engine management light on, tried starting it and the revs picked up but it slowly died again about 5 seconds after.
Left it for a minute, tried starting it again and it drove fine after that!

Diagnosed it when I got to work with the old paperclip trick and got fault code 73: Mass air flow temperature (voltage low), anyone know what this means and if it'll need replacing? Could it just be a dodgy wire?
It's a 95 Astra 1.8i 16v (C18XE), anyone shed any light on this?

Cheers
Andy
