For anyone else in the future regarding this situation, I was not getting a MAF code. (at least until I ran it without the MAF during the test)

Now, need to order a MAF....and fix the rear axle brake line that started leaking while just sitting in the garage.

Thanks!!!!
When my MAF failed it did not through a code, but going through the FSM and checking everything led me to the MAF. I had to take the new/remanufactured MAF back twice before getting one that worked. I ran my Corvette with the MAF unplugged for a week with no problems, but MPG did go down.

Only time I had throttle tip-in hesitation, was when my MAF was failing...... It never set a code either.
