So you're saying that with the maf unplugged it started fine??? Then yea, it's the maf! Check the wiring to the maf relays also-make sure they're not shorted where they go into the relay plugs (it happens). Get some new relays and a maf. No codes? Well sometimes it won't set the code at first; it can take a while, and in the meantime it'll drive you crazy! (been there done that!)

like drive it said, sounds like something in the relays/maybe the MAF itself.

thats why I always say

Speed Density = Good
