    yes if the car starts with it unplugged then the MAF is bad, if you unplug it and the car still doent start then its something else. the throttle position sensor is a good guess too...forgot that one

    BigmeadersGTP - Bingo! the fuel pump resistor appears to be the issue. When it is bypassed it runs great. I'll pick one up tomorrow and hope to be on the road. Thanks!

    Fuel pump resistor relocation kit did the trick. Drove 600 miles this weekend with no issues. Thanks everyone for the ideas.
