    if ur maf had no effect when unplugging, it would make sense because ur maf is prolly dead to the point where the car is already in "safe mode" as if it was unplugged anyway. just try disconnecting maf and remove battery cables for like 15 min to clear all codes if any. then leave maf unplugged and connect battery and try to start let us know...
