So I put the intake back and it would not start as previously. So I disconnected the MAF and it ran!!! As it was ideling I plugged the MAF back in and it died immediately. So I swapped it with my spare MAF and good as new. Never in all my no start research or previous research on MAF sensors have I heard of it causing a no start situation.

I am going to guess that your MAF sensor is the hot film type versus the hot wire type in my 2000S.
I once replaced the hot film type on a Ford pickup. I had rotated it 180 in its mount.
causing it to be mounted upside down. Truck would start but die after about 10 seconds.
Pulled it out and remounted it everything was fine.
Glad you found your problem and that it was an easy fix.
Like I stated in my previous post most mechanical issues are relatively simple issues.
We just need to be methodical and linear in our diagnosis and testing. Makes correcting issues easier and keeps us from chasing our tails
