That sounds like you have found the culprit right there. The e-gas does not recognize that you push down the throttle; it always leaves the throttle at the same position (idle), hence the identical flow rates from the MAF.

I think that the e-gas has a component right at/under the gas pedal that is responsible for converting your gas pedal movement into electronic (digital?) data that is then sent to the throttle body. The throttle itself only reacts to the data, not the actual action of your foot on the pedal. So I would bet that in your case the component at the gas pedal is broken.

Hope this helps...
