The point I was getting at about correct maf data is.. you might see something. But if the maf isn't seeing the "correct" amount according to the pcm parameter.... it doesn't give you fuel.
No fuel, no start.
The way our vehicles work is you turn the key, the fuel pump runs for a second to prime the system up to the right pressure. The maf even while cranking can give you a reading to keep the injectors closed. Yes...I know this because I've run across it.
